NICU- Day 3

Braylin continues to do well in NICU. Today they had to put her under the photo therapy light because her skin was looking a little yellow. She had little tiny sunglasses on to block the bright light. That was kind of hard for me to see at first, but I have to remember that everything they are doing is best for her. Jalee went with me today and snapped some really good pictures under the light. You will see below. Thanks Bean!  

I visited during feeding times so that I could help change her diaper, take her temperature, and get some mommy touch time in. She is so very small and I'm scared to touch her, but at the same time my heart does back flips in ways that I have never known. I have no idea how one could possibly love something so new... so very much. L-O-V-E has taken on a whole new meaning. Indescribable. 

Daddy visited too! Jared glows when her name is even mentioned. He's still a little freaked out by her tiny little self, but you can see hearts in his eyes nevertheless. I could watch Jared watch Braylin all day long. What is it about a daddy and his little girl? And I know its early, but she sure looks like him too!!

Braylin has a head covered in short brown hair and I finally got to see her little eyes open. She has great big puppy dog eyes that are blue for now... I know that could change but they are just beautiful. 

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. Our blessing from above.
