Look at my big baby yawn... I love this pic. It is so nice to see her face without it being covered with tape and tubes.
Charlie's IV in her foot went bad and her right leg is swollen because of it : ( So they had to put another one in. Her nurse today was fabulous and got it on her first stick! Check out her party hat (scalp IV).
This is daddy, changing Charlie's diaper for his first time (I went easy on him, no poop, just pee). Stephen was amazed at how fast she could get her baby hands in her diaper.
Charlie's first attempt at bottle feeding- didn't go so well. She only had to take 10cc but just couldn't. Even though she likes to suck on her pacifier, feeding is a lot more complicated. You have to remember to breath and swallow. She got too tired and started breathing to fast so we had to stop the feeding. She did much better with the second feeding- it took her about 25 minutes but she managed to take the whole 10 cc (with a little help from mom and dad).
The night nurse said Charlie took her entire 6 p.m. feeding. If she keeps this up, she could be home in a couple more days. Yeah!!

Oh my goodness. Seeing her by herself she looks good size but then when you are holding her it's easy to see how tiny she really is!!
She does look so super teeny! Kristin, she's seriously just beautiful. Her little face is just cherubic. It's so cute to see her actually eating and doing real baby things.
Stephen, nice work on the diaper. You were very brave. :)
Can't wait to squeeze our pretty new baby niece. Love you guys.
