One week old today!

Posted Jul 13, 2009 6:19pm

Miss Thang had another great day today! First of all, she “graduated” from the room she was in. Now she’s in a room with other infants who require less care. Less machines, less noise. Two of the 4 babies in there are in bassinettes… hopefully Sarai will make that move soon too!

But the best news for us is that they took the line out of her belly button and we FINALLY GOT TO HOLD HER! You have no idea how nice it was to hold her and kiss her little face. She felt so tiny, but she looked so happy and comfortable. I don’t know how they’ll get us to leave her in her isolette from now on.

We have accumulated a TON of preemie clothes in the last couple weeks. We sorted through everything and brought all the preemie stuff to the hospital to be washed today so we’ll be set for when she comes home. Since we can hold her now and she’s out from under the blue light, they said we can leave some clothes for her. We tried her in a preemie shirt, and as you’ll see from the picture, it was WAY too big. It went down past her knees. She’s got a lot of growing to do! But when she does put on a couple pounds, her full wardrobe will be waiting!

Beth and Christin came out to meet our little lady today. It's been a great couple of days!
