NICU Day 49 (January 25th)

~Learning to Take a Bottle...One Drop At A Time~

Noelle had another really good day in the NICU.  In fact, today's morning rounds with the medical staff were the shortest she has ever had in the past 6+ weeks!!  The summary: she needs to grow.  So that is it...just like a term baby, she now needs to eat, sleep, and grow.  Love that!!  Of course she has some other things they are monitoring, but those pale in comparison right now.  We're beginning to feel like real parents as we get to be more and more involved in her care and hold her a little more often, and it is really starting to sink in that we actually need to start preparing for her to come home!!  We are still weeks away, but we had not gotten anything ready at home since originally they told us her condition was fatal and that diagnosis began to change only a few weeks before she was born, and then since then...well...life has been turned upside down!  It is fun to start dreaming and planning for that time in our lives....it is a relatively short time away!!   Thank you so much for praying for our little family.  We are overwhelmed with God's grace and goodness in our lives and so appreciate your part in praying for that as well.
