NICU Day 22

Today Annie is three weeks old and 30 weeks gestational. I remember when I first arrived at the hospital, the night before she was born, the doctors said they were hoping to get me to 30 weeks. Obviously God had other plans. Here we are 3 weeks into this journey. Annie is really doing great. She's gaining weight (currently 2 pounds 12 ounces) and getting bigger and stronger each day. I held her for 90 minutes today with no dips on her monitor!! Woohoo! Our nurse (Mrs. Becky) let me snap a few pictures of Annie without her cpap on today. What a treat to get to see her hair and her face without all of the garb. She even told me I could dress her in her first outfit on Christmas Day. If you know me, you know that this was great news. Preemie Christmas outfit ordered and I can't wait!



Sucking her thumb? I think it was a coincidental placement, but so cute!


No cpap!! Yay!!




Yawn!!


She sleeps with her hands up all the time. She's getting so big!
