12 Days Old

Wide Eyed and Happy

Miss Braylin Jae Percifull

Braylin's great grandmother, Nanny, visited today. We left without taking a picture of Nanny and Braylin together (I was really mad at myself!), but there will many more days to come that Nanny will be visiting.

We love our Nanny and enjoyed her visit!

Our favorite time of the day.

Miss Braylin was happy today and opened those big eyes for us. Oh, how I love her eyes.

She's is still doing great without her Cpap and breathing all on her own. She lost a little bit of weight over the night, probably because she IS having to work a little harder without the Cpap helping her. She just burned a few extra calories. PLUS, she was weighed for the first time without that dumb ole Cpap tube and such! Surely that made a difference in her weigh-in!! We just happened to be there while her doctor came to visit. He's still very pleased with her progress. We are still watching her red blood cell count. A blood transfusion seems likely, but he's giving her a few days to see if the iron will help. She also had an ultra sound done on her head/brain to check bleeding, and we will hear about those results tomorrow. Basically, we know there is a small amount of bleeding on the left side, which we won't worry too much about right now... we just need to make sure it doesn't get any worse.

Her milk intake was increased again today to 19ml!!!

Now we just wait for her to start plumpin' up and grow grow grow. 

LOOK AT MY BABY GIRL! ISN'T SHE SO PRECIOUS.



Almost a smile.



Look at my new pink bonnet!
