What a Difference a Week Makes...

It's been a week since Hannah was born and you can tell she has changed dramatically -- it makes me really look at what a difference just a week can make in our lives. She is out of the incubator and in an icelot although a slight temperature drop could mean she goes back if it does not stabilize.

Yesterday, Hannah's great grandparents Tillie and Curt Jahnke visited Hannah after church, Alexis and I went over a few hours later and Alexis successfully started breastfeeding Hannah. She accepted a little bit and then we did the rest by bottle. She is eating a lot and her weight is creeping up...

This is Hannah's binder which ended up being is some interesting light last night. In it the nurses record just about everything that happens to Hannah during the day and evening.

My friend Jami Gina and her son Osirus brought us dinner last night and we are very appreciative! It was nice to visit with them as Osirus was a NICU baby as well. Alexis' Mom has been doing quite a bit for us and so has her Dad and his partner Marilynn -- I don't know what we would do without them. It's very hard to be home without our child...we are both waking up in the middle of the night a little anxious. Alexis' strength in this area has been amazing. Me? I'm taking it one day at a time.
