Last Few Days In The NICU


At this point in time, the nurses kept preparing us that Reese could still have to stay in the NICU for quite a bit longer...even up to a couple more weeks! But she kept making steady progress and it was only a matter of a few more days before she would get to come home!

Reese moved from the feeding tube to a bottle!

Sleepy Time


They kept the feeding tube in to make sure she was digesting the milk she took from the bottle.


While Nonie stayed with us, she brought James up again to see Reese!


Nonie's turn to bottle feed Reese


Reese finally was moved to a crib!


My feet and ankles swelled up terribly from just being on them so much after the C Section. It definitely limited the amount of time I went up to the hospital to see Reese. I went from trying to see her 3 times a day to only once a day.

No more feeding tube!


Without all the tubes she looked so much more "real" to us.
Isn't she pretty?


We didn't see this much! Eyes OPEN!

Another step in the right direction!


Some more good Kangaroo care!
Oh, I just didn't want to let her go.

Moving to the "healthier baby" part of the NICU!
(I think this is Friday)
This meant that any day now she could go home!
