Showed up last night and they were giving the little runt a bath. So cute. And...they let us help!
(Getting ready to take off the cpap to wash her face and hair)
(Preemies this size don't like to be softly touched, they prefer to be "contained" we were taught. It makes them feel like they are back in the womb, hence the reason my hands are scrunching her up into a ball.)
(A little blow by oxygen while the cpap is off)
(Not a happy girl during the bath, but boy did she love getting her hair washed. Don't we all love a head massage? She looks absolutely annoyed here, look at that frown! :) )
(And a "first" - they let me hold her while they weighed her and changed her bed! She is such a featherweight! Roger was taking the pics, sorry to leave him out.)
A quick video for those that like real life stuff.
And another "first"...Roger plays in a softball league once a week - this stud of a husband of mine hit a homerun at the first game of the year! Congrats Rog!

oh she is so cute and so little! I love that they can give annoyed looks from the start!
She is so tiny and so darling! I'm glad she is doing so well. Our prayers are with you!
That video is amazing, life is so incredible. She is SO small, and very cute. You are doing great! Hang in there...
Ashley,
I am glad you sent out that email. I just barely checked it today and saw your announcement. You will be in my prayers. What a cute little baby girl (and I LOVE the name) She is so blessed to have such strong and faithful parents. You and your little family will be in my prayers.

I keep checking your blog for updates on Brooklyn. It breaks my heart to see her hooked up to tubes and to see her so tiny. I am so glad she's the fighter she is! Your family has been in my prayers and will continue to be!
Ashlee, I was doing Breanne Poulsens hair last night when she told me the news about the unexpected early arrival of your precious little girl! My heart broke, we had just seen you a few weeks prior at Primarys for Nates heart procedure, and you looked fantastic and proud to be a new mommy! I just want you to know that we are praying for you, baby, hubby and family, our thoughts are with you! Keep the faith
