Day 14 - Moms Turn

Well, the baby is still sitting tight at 2 lbs. 7 oz., nothing has changed with her air and they are increasing her feeding to 7ml. The BIG news of the day was that Heather finally got to go down and hold the baby for the first time. The only hat the nurse could find was a giant yellow one. It served the purpose but kind of made the baby look like that one guy on the Fat Albert cartoons. Anyway, it was really cool and I was glad that Mom and baby could finally get some up close time.

I am so happy for you Heather!! What a great feeling that must have been. I agree with Rebecca, you both are beautiful.

Raegan wanted me to tell you that she and Austin pray for you and RJ at every prayer and they love to check the update with me.

What a miracle you and Brian have made.
