Answered prayer

I have to start with the BIG NEWS of the day...Her head ultrasound came back normal!!!!!!!!  We are so blessed!  I know how fortunate we are that she is doing so well at such a young age...they all say "26 weekers are not supposed to be doing this well".  All I can say is, it's a God thing.  There is power in prayer and I think this is a direct result of it.  P.S. they were looking for a brain bleed on the ultrasound...all the blogs that I read in the hospital on premmie birth stories, the babies had brain bleeds.  They most always resolved themselves but they were there.  That makes me feel so fortunate that she doesn't have one. I am one happy momma!

Over the last couple days, she has been having those episodes of apnea/bradycardia.  I talked about that in last post so I won't go into details.  She is having them more frequently though.  This morning they decided to put her back on low flow.  She is still breathing on room air just like me and you but she has a little pressure to help her.  I am surprisingly not  freaking out because they have been telling us that it is likely to happen and lets be honest--she is entitled to a little help with how hard she has been working.  Poor baby is tired.  Now I will be happy when she is able to come off of it, but we are counting our blessings right now.

She had another bath last night.  I did this bath and we both handled it a little better.  She has a great night nurse that is good about helping me to be more hands on.  She still piped up but she was more consolable this time.  Also, since she is off of the bili light now she got a rub down with lotion.  She liked this.  

I got to hold her again today.  I kissed and kissed on her little head too.  She was having to many desats while I had her so I put her back early.  (this means her oxygen was going too low).  I wanted them to stop so she went back to bed where she might have been more comfortable.

Each and every one of you will never know how thankful we are for every prayer you have all prayed!  I will keep saying this over and over!  She is a true testament to the power of God.  My cousin June said, "I dare someone to say there is not a God".  I love this and it is so true.  I know God has put this in mine and Rob's life for a reason.  If there is ever a person to walk into our lives, to doubt there is a God, I think we have some evidence to prove there is.  We have talked about this a lot (God's purpose for all of this) and we are ready for what he has in store!

During her bath-- can you see her pitching a fit?

I love getting to hold her while her nurse changes her bedding!!

Just before tucking her in for the night

Bless her sweet little heart! 

Her daddy gets to do this Thursday and I CAN'T WAIT!
 I think I might be more excited than him ;)

Possibly my favorite picture yet.  This is how I left her this afternoon.
She has discovered her fingers and she likes them in her mouth.
