Happy Holidays from the Nusbaums! Mia is doing well and getting bigger! Her official weight on Monday was 7lbs. 6oz! We went downtown Monday for her Synagis shot to help protect her from getting RSV during these winter months. It is not a vaccine, but does provide antibodies for about a month, so Mia will get a shot monthly throughout RSV season (similar to flu season- winter/early spring months). RSV can be very serious for preemies, one of the reasons we have had to limit visitors and keep Mia home bound for the time. Thanks to all of our family and friends for being so understanding and keeping little Mia safe and healthy. Chad and I knew nothing about RSV until the doctors talked to us about it in the NICU. If you are curious, there is some good information at http://www.synagis.com/faq.aspx. Our next visit will be Mia's 4 month 'well baby' checkup (I know sounds crazy!) later in January.

Life with Mia is so good, and we are amazed by her each and every day! Wishing all of you a safe and happy holidays with those you love.
