February 8


But mommy, I'm sooo sleepy.

At 31 gestational weeks, Reiley is gaining 1.5 ounces per day.

Reiley is now on regular nasal cannula trials. She is on CPAP for three hours, then on cannula for three hours. Ruthie and I make sure we hold her during the hours she is on the cannula.



I LOVE DADDY.

It suddenly hit me I will never be able to tuck her in my shirt again. There is something totally amazing and awesome that happens when you hold a preemie bare skin to bare skin. Ruthie did it from day four, and I stood with my mouth open as her monitors showed an instant improvement in her vital signs. How can one so tiny know who her mother is. I can't help but think of our wonderful Creator time and time again.
