Takin' it Easy on a Saturday 1/19/13
Chris
Hattie likes it in her new room. That is evident by her sound sleeping today. In fact, we don't have much to report. She continues to be stable, is eating well and is just so darn cute! A few friends also visited today and Hattie sure liked the attention. I kangarooed with her this afternoon for about three hours and we of course both loved our bonding time together. Hattie's night nurse Maria further explained the benefits of parents kangarooing as often as we do. She told us that the nurses can tell a difference between babies who are kangarooed regularly and those who are not. It's great to know that we are making such a difference in Hattie's development and the countless hours we are spending at the hospital are worth it.
Melissa has the sniffles. We're hoping it is not the start of a cold, but she took precaution regardless. She didn't touch Hattie and wore a mask when near her today. Please pray that Melissa does not get sick so that she can continue to visit the NICU daily.
Because Hattie was so peacefully cocooned in her bed today, we didn't have much opportunity to take photos, but I will still leave you with one from yesterday. As I look into the big beautiful eyes of my little girl, I can't help but to know that she was created in the perfect image of God and is an integral part to His plan for the world.
