I went with Erin to see Carli yesterday. I hadn't seen her since Christmas Eve and she really has filled out a lot since then. I just had to take a couple of pictures of Erin holding her. She's in a different room since her surgery but they all look about the same anyway. They were starting her on her feeds yesterday and Erin said she did really well with it. She's 4 1/2 lb. now and so cute. She smiles and frowns and has some facial expressions that lets you know how she is feeling. It looked like every room was full of babies yesterday and the nurses were very busy doing all of their nursing duties. I felt like I would like to help hold or rock or pat a back or something to help out with crying babies. I think I could do that without having a nursing degree - - I can hardly wait to hold Carli too. This one picture is Carli's hand - I thought it was really getting chubby looking so we took a picture of it just laying out flat on her blanket.

I agree - that little hand is looking really good! And in the second picture I can see a lot of Erin in Carli's face. I thought I had heard somewhere of women who volunteer to go and just help hold the babies - you should look into it. I think you would be great and so helpful to all of those nurses. Plus you have plenty of experience....holding 5 kids and 12 grandkids!
she is looking so good. The days are getting shorter until she gets to come home, that will be so fun.
That would be my life's calling I think. Maybe that's what I did in the pre-existence, who knows.
She sure is plumping up. How adorable.
i just wish we had a camera for when you got to hold her in the nicu the other day mom! we'll have to do that again
