A Month Old

It's hard to believe she's been in the hospital for an entire month. Two more to go! (Hopefully)

Not sure if you can even tell, but look how much she's starting to fill out. She is 2lbs. 13oz. as of yesterday! Yahoo!

This is definitely not her most flattering picture, but it does a good job of showing off her double chin and her chubby cheeks. Doesn't she look like a puppy dog? :)










Roger's hand vs. Brooklyn' s foot....she's going to be a tall girl - look at the length on that foot!



This picture kills me. The moments where my husband cries breaks my already broken heart into smaller pieces. He still has yet to hold her - makes me feel so bad. Each time we get up there at night she is tucking in for the night and he doesn't want to interrupt her sleep. Plus the little boy next to us had a rough day and was semi "crashing" when we showed up last night. That scene is so difficult to watch as a nurse, but even worse for Roger who has no medical background. He wished so badly he could have given him a blessing, but there are no parents for the little guy, so we weren't able to offer one.

Again, life isn't fair for the innocent ones. Makes me grateful for how well our baby is doing.

Hope Roger gets to hold her soon. It's amazing what you take for granted...she's a month old and still your hubby hasn't held his little girl. That breaks my heart. You guys are amazing. Hang in there. Brooklyn is so cute. She's already asserting her independence grabbing onto that ET tube!!

Wow, one month old already! So glad she is gaining weight. Always thinking of you and Roger and sweet Brooklyn.

She really is starting to fill out. I love that pic of her sleeping on her tummy... what a sweetheart. She is very lucky to have such wonderful parents :)

She is filling out a little! What a tiny little thing. I understand it is so hard to see your husband cry! It breaks your heart.

Your baby is so cute and sweet. I am excited to read that she is doing so well. Just wanted to let you know. Baby Jake was born on mothers day at 2:48 am. He is way cute. Well we love you and you are in our prayers.

Wow, a month old. I can't believe it. Alison was in for 3 weeks and it seemed like 3 months. I'm sure it feels like a year to you in some ways!

She is so cute! She is doing so well. I pray for you every night!! Just think how grateful you'll be when she finally comes home! You'll take nothing for granted.
