Guess who's three weeks old today... Olivia!
The nurse she had last night made her a pretty bow for the occasion. Nothing like a tiny girl with a big bow in her hair! The nurses say they can't believe a baby born so early has so much hair already. (The lighting wasn't very good today. She threw a fit when we took the blanket off of her isolette so we quickly apologized and put it back.)
We discovered this afternoon that she might sleep with her eyes open like her daddy. I'm trying to be OK with it. ;) Olivia is doing well and still recovering from the surgery. We are hoping that she'll get to start eating again tomorrow morning. You can pray that her gut will be ready and she'll be able to start packing on the pounds.
And, we thought she needed a three week birthday present. Tiny girl jammies and first year stickers!

I found your blog through another blog, and I want to tell you how beautiful your daughter is.
ReplyDeleteI had my triplets at 25 weeks 6 days so I know what you are going through with your Olivia.
If I could get your address, I've got some things that my triplets would love to pass on to your sweet daughter. Email me at emkoob@gmail.com
I'm praying for the three of you!
