Update

My cousin was able to come visit baby G with her husband. He brought all his camera gear and was so kind to take these wonderful pictures of our sweet little girl.  Thanks Kevin they turned out great!  What a precious little girl she is. We are so amazed at her strength.  She is doing wonderfully.  She is growing a little more everyday.  She got back up to her birth weight today, which is 3lbs 9oz.  Now it is just kind of a waiting game as she continues to grow and develop.  She is still eating out of a feeding tube, that is the little orange tube you see in her nose in the pictures.  We started physical therapy for her feeding yesterday.  Which helps her learn how to suck, swallow and breathe in a natural rhythm. Which will get her off the feeding tube and eating like a normal baby.  She is still in an incubator to help keep her warm.  But each day they are turning down the temp and just bundling her up more.  She makes little steps each day.  She is a perfect baby girl that just came a too early.  We are happy she is here though.  We are just trying to balance between spending time with her at the hospital and taking care of T at home.  Luckily we have lots of help from Grandmas!  T has no idea what is going on.  He is still lifting up my shirt everyday and giving baby (my tummy) kisses.  So he will be for a shock when she comes home one day.  We praying for that day to come soon.  Everyday is one day closer.  For now we are happy she is healthy and strong and has good people taking care of her.
