These ones here were taken the night she was born. She was about 2 1/2 hours old. Sorry, they're not the best quality.
And these were taken yesterday afternoon. I think she's changed a lot already!
I still LOVE her profile : ).
Being shy.
She finally moved her hand.
Here I am with her. Definitely NOT the best pic of me, lol.
And here is her bed space. Her isolette is so cool. They're called Giraffes. They adjust up and down with pedals and the whole top goes up and then you can lower the sides to make the bed completely open. They also adjust their temperature according to baby's temperature (she wears a little probe), so that the bed stays just right.
We went over to the NICU to see her today before I went home. She was on 23% oxygen, so still doing very well. It was time to do her little assessment, so the nurse let me hold her arm still while her B.P. was taken and then she asked if I wanted to change her diaper! I was surprised I was "allowed" already. Of course I jumped on that. And of course I made her cry. LOL. She didn't cry for long, though. Then the nurse had me scoop her up and move her up in her little "nest" because she had slid down. It was awesome :*). Her nurse said she's actually really tolerant because a lot of the babies cry every time you bother them. Brooke does cry, but not a lot. She's so cute. I'm so in love with her already :*).

She looks so good Jen!! Brayden was 4 weeks older than her when he was born and a pound more and she looks every bit the size he was when he was born. She looks awesome! Won't be too long before she is doing amazing things. Besides we all know preemie girls do much better than preemie boys. Congratulations!
