He's still here!!

Recebtly realized that we have no posts of Branson since Aubrie has arrived. That will change as soon as he is able to go and meet her! Hopefully this week!!! Here is Branson playing his new Wii that his Nana and Papa gave him for Christmas. He's pretty good at it!

More Aubrie Pics

Finally have time to post a few of the pics I took over the week. This week she's up to 3lbs 10oz and got to put on clothes! They are calling her a "feeder and a grower!" She did have to go back on a little O2 this week, but she should come off of it soon. Hopefully this week she will get to try eating from a bottle!

Hiccups!

Aubrie Continued...

Sorry for the delayed time in posting, but you know I'm a new mom!!! Aubrie was able to come off the nasal canula (oxygen) yesterday and is doing great! She has been increasing her feedings on a regular basis and is doing great with digestion. She has been under the bright lights because of the jaundice, but should be able to come off the bright lights tomorrow. In addition, she should be able to come off the IV tomorrow or the next day. WHOO-HOO! She is doing great!

Another video to come later....

Day Two...

I was finally able to hold Aubrie today!!! It was wonderful! Here are some shots I tried to take of her while I was holding her... try to ignore me in the pics... I was trying my best to NOT be included!

Aubrie Day 1 continued

Here are a few more shots of Aubrie's first day... they are a little blurry because the lighting was bad, but I don't want to shock her with flashes, so blurry will have to do!

Our two preemies~

Just for kicks... here are our kids, at one day old...

Branson was born at 32weeks, 4days weighing 4lbs3oz and measuring 17.5inches

Aubrie born at 30 weeks, 5 days weighing 3lbs,8oz measuring 16.5inches.

Based on this... we predict that if Aubrie had been born in two weeks (like Branson) then she would have far out grown him~~~

Just a new fact from the NICU on Aubrie... nurse says that based on development, movement, physical stuff, reflexes, etc... Aubrie rates like a 34 weeker instead of a 30 weeker. They do say girls do better than boys!!! So, that doesn't really mean much, but maturity is a good sign. Right now she really just needs to focus on her breathing~ that's all she's got to do right now. Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts~
