This is a picture of Anne just a few hours after she
was born. We have jumped through so many hurdles.
When I say "we" I actually mean Anne, and the help of
Heavenly Father!! She no longer has an IV, or her incubator.
She can hold her own temperature, her Jaundice is no
longer threatening so no more lights; her stats are
perfect. All that she needs to do is keep resting, growing and
learning how to eat orally, instead of through a tube.
She is getting it!! The doctors say she is so perfect and
that she will one day just get it. It is a developmental
response to be able to eat orally, you can't teach it, it will
just come in time. So now we wait, and go to the hospital
every three hours for her feedings. She does some on breast,
bottle and through her tube. Whewwww! We are tired but
extremely happy and GRATEFUL! She is so beautiful!
Scott is so amazing with her. He has been so strong through
all of this. He has cared for me and her night and day!
It will be so exciting when Anne gets to come home.
Hopefully within a week or two! Hurray!!!
This is under the billy light, aren't her glasses awesome!
She's got a strong sucker! Go, Anne you can do it!
She has a little curl in her hair. How fun!
Scott would hold her 24-7 if he could. She loves her Daddy!
Daddy and baby asleep.
Saturday we had our baby shower. Anne wasn't
really supposed to be there anyway. It was sooo fun.
It wore me out! With a few special surprises from
some old friends. Thank you Hillary for coming and bringing
your mom! It was sooooooo gooood to see you and
everyone else who came!
This picture is a little out of order.
This is when she was only a few days old.
But I love the look on her face....
I think we'll have our hands full! ha ha ha
My grandma came up for the shower.
4 generations! WOW
We truly feel so blessed and have felt the strengthening
power of the spirit. We know that we are being watched
over. One of my biggest comforts was when my
favorite scripture came to mind.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine
own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.
My family has been unbelievably amazing, especially my mom!
While I am intensively caring for Anne, my mom has been
intensively caring for me!
Thank you for your comments and especially your prayers!

Chalice, Thanks for posting more pictures of your beautiful Anne! Wish I could have been at two places at once this weekend to be at your baby shower, but hoping to drop a little package off later this week if it will work. I will call when I know when I will be that way!
