Day 3 in NICU...



I get to hold my baby girl for the first time today. 1 o'clock can't get here soon enough. Thank you all for your prayers and sweet comments. A is continuing to do well with each passing day. I promise to write more when we're home and things have settled down a bit. For now, pictures will have to do. :)

Love,

  4. She is just precious. I am a friend of Amber Patterson and want to say congrats!!! I had my daughter at 35 weeks as well. We spent a week in the NICU as well. It is hard, but you will be thankful for all the good care and advice when you get home!! Prayers and thoughts with you.

  8. I cried when I read what you wrote..."I get to hold my baby girl for the first time today"!
    I don't know you but I just love you from reading your blog...you are such an uplifting person and always find the best in every situation!
    My husband and I adopted our daughter 21 years ago and I wish I could live that day over and over because it was the happiest day of our lives. We feel so blessed!
