Kangaroo is Our Favorite Animal! 1/10/13

Hattie right before she was weighed.
We are so grateful we were both able to hold Hattie today! Four days felt like an eternity! We are also thankful for the amazing care Hattie is receiving in the NICU. All of the nurses love her and tell us how "feisty" she is. I wonder who she gets that from... ;)
Hattie was weighed tonight. She weighs 1 lb 11 oz; she lost 2 oz since birth which is completely normal, even for a full term baby. She was not happy to be out of her cozy incubator but her reward was she got to kangaroo with daddy!!
Hattie on the scale.
Kangarooing with Daddy!
While Chris was holding Hattie I read her The Berenstain Bears Nursery Tales. Hattie now knows Goldilocks, The Red Hen and The Gingerbread Man. Chris helped change Hattie's diaper tonight. Hooray for more poop!
We had to force ourselves to leave the NICU at around 1:30 a.m. It's extremely hard to break ourselves away from spending time with our sweet girl.
