More Pics

I am currently in the NICU in the hospital, uploading all of these pictures and typing these blogs. We had to go to the doctor today for a follow up appt. and they determined that she needed to get her bilirubin levels tested. So then we went to the hospital, where she got her foot poked for bloodwork. It was the saddest thing holding her, just letting her scream and get hurt. I was trying really hard not to cry. They called us back quickly after and said we needed to spend the night in the hospital, so she can sleep under a light to try to get rid of the jaundice. She's doing a great job, and its the hardest thing for me to just not hold her. But she'll be fine, and I can't wait to just be at home again.

So since I have a little bit of time, I'm taking advantage of it and posting a bunch of pictures. This is my last post for at least a few days! Okay, I make no promises, but its my last post for today at least. Here are some of my favorite pics so far:

You can tell she's a little jaundice here. She's pretty orange, but you can also see how light her hair is. She loves cuddling with Dad right by his face.

We were trying to get her dressed to go to the doctor. Not much fits her right now. We have a few preemie onesies that work, but other than that, she looks like a little gangster. That's the look we were going for in this picture. None of her hats fit, so I went with the classic little bow instead.

I wonder where she gets her long fingers from!

Chubby little cheeks!

I love this picture because you can see how tiny she is in her bouncy chair.

Her going home from the hospital outfit.

So sweet.

This is the only picture I will allow posted of me because I've had a couple days to recover and you can't see my face very close up. Here we are ready going home from the hospital.

She's so little in her car seat! I am in denial that she's going to get any bigger.



She loves being burped. This is just after her bath that I gave her at home.

I love these pictures because you can see how long her arms, hands, fingers, and feet are. She uses her arms and hands a ton to express herself. It's funny because she'll do something with her hands or feet, and I'm like, I remember that from when you were in the womb! Her fingers are like half the size of mine!

She's doing a dance move.

She's either saying What's up! Or she's demonstrating how she will one day have the ability to palm a basketball.

Her toes make us laugh because they are all the same lenght. Her pinky toe is the same size as her big toe! They look like fingers.
