Well, a little to our suprise, we were blessed with the best christmas present one could ask for: Baby Sophie!!
I'll jot briefly her progress under each picture, but will put the details of her birth into an entry another day! There just isn't time for that story yet!
Here are just a few pictures from my blog-ONLY friends (ahem! Em!! and Rivest family!!!)

Day One: Incubator, central line, ventilator, suction, 2 IV's and all the regular vital stuff!

Day 3: Onto CPAP machine from ventilator, central line, down to 1 IV, incubator, photo-therapy (for jaundice), constant blood pressure monitoring, and a spinal tap!

Day 4: Down to just CPAP, central line, IV and an NG tube (for feeding). (Results from the spinal tap show no signs of menigitis!! YAY!!) Mommy and Daddy finally get some cuddles!

Day 5: CPAP removed, IV & NG still present and continuing photo-therapy, central line removed!

Day 6: IV & NG tube kept in, however feeding well on her own, breathing room air, and maintaining average vital stats! Go Sophie!!!
