Mommy gets to hold her again


Not much new to post, except that we're so excited to see so many people coming to this site to support and encourage us. Thank you.

Alex is doing fine. The docs have decided to keep her on the breathing machine for another day or so, just to be sure she doesn't forget to breathe. But she's getting Mommy's milk now (through a tube), and Nic even got to hold her again a few minutes ago. The hospital encourages as much skin-to-skin contact as possible, which is great. Even with all her monitors & tubes attached, they go out of their way to make it happen, and it so rewarding to Mommy (and we all know if Mommy's happy, so is Daddy).

ha ha...you're def right about that - Jimmy needs a nap. But I actually had to put 2009 in order for those posts to stay at the top. How clever am I?

It's so good to hear from you bro. Thanks for hangin' out & posting!
