Jimmy & I woke up early this morning and called Alex's nurse to see how she did last night. Liz, her nurse told us she had a great night, passed the car seat challenge and put on a little weight. Our baby girl is coming home today :)
Alex has been in the NICU for 14 days and it's amazing how in that short amount of time we've connected and been moved by so many nurses, doctors, and families. We always tell the nurses, "hope we don't see you next week" jokingly but we will definitely miss some of them very much. LB, Kim, Liz, Terri, Krista,Teena, Becky, Darra are all nurses that have cared for Alex and they have all touched our family. The Docs have been great too and we send out a special thanks to Dr. Ann who is so sweet. It's obvious she loves what she does and she's been great to work with. Dr. Handler, as most of you know is the head honcho and has been such a blessing. Alex's back looks amazing and we know that she is always in good hands with him.
Another special little one named Saul will also be going home today too. Saul was born premature at 29 weeks and only weighed 2lbs 14oz. He's been in the NICU for 51 days and has grown to about 5 1/2 lbs. We met Liz, Saul's mom the first night we visited Alex in the NICU. She was so nice and had the kindest spirit. Over the past couple of weeks we've become friends and check in daily with each other. She has two daughters as well and as you can imagine has had her hands full. We are so happy for this family and we will miss seeing them too.
We are looking forward to being home with our baby girl and will be sure to post some pics tonight. We will continue to post pics and updates periodically (although not as often as we have been lately) so feel free to keep checking back.
Love,
Jimmy, Nic, and Alex

Congratulations to the wonderful parents. Your little angel is so, so strong. I'm so happy for the three of you. Checked the news this morning and had to go off to work all day. Thoughts and prayers were with you all day long. Now, this evening, I check again and the positive news are almost overwhelming. Your little star has made procress and I can hardly keep up with her. Great news....Awesome God.....Great parents....wonderful team of nurses and doc's.....strong prayer warriors etc. Most of all....Hope Alexandra is a true fighter. God has great plans for your little angel and she has allready made a huge difference in so many lifes.

Yes Genell, we are finally breathing easy. :) And our girl is on a little oxygen (1/16, and 1/8 while feeding)- she likely will be for a few months due to the altitude. I guess a lot of babies out here have that problem.
Alex, Nicole & Jummy - We are so happy for you. Together at last. May God give all of you rest, growth, and peace.
Congratulations! You've been blessed with an angel. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I never forget all the struggles we went through with my Jimmy's birth. 21 years later, I treasure every day and every miracle God granted. You will too. I know Alex has many angels to watch over her, her mommy and daddy. You gave her a perfect name. Hope will be your strength and courage. I look forward to meeting her! Your Cousin, Michelle
