We wanted to give an update on Natalee. She is doing very well! Every time we take a picture of her she scrunches up her forehead and closes her eyes. She is doing well enough that they are letting us do the Kangaroo Care with her every day. This picture was the second time I got to hold her and yes, I was a little emotional again!
She still has her breathing tube in and they wanted to leave that in until she reached the two pound mark. They want to fatten her up a little bit more since the first time they took the tube out she was working really hard to breath and she lost weight.
But she is getting stronger and bigger every day. As of 10/30/11 she weighs 1 pound 14 ounces.
She is our precious little girl! The nurses always comment how cute she is, how much hair she has, and how long her eye lashes are. One nurse said she has never seen a white baby with this much blond hair at this age. She said that most of them that have hair like this are Hispanic babies.
Daddy even gets the chance to Kangaroo with little Natalee. Daddy is all smiles!
We bring the kids to visit Natalee often. They already love their little sister. Kenadee can't wait until Natalee comes home. She will be such a big help to her mom.
We all got to spend her one month birthday with Natalee as a family. Happy 1 month Birthday Natalee! We love you and can't wait until you come home!
