London's First Bath

So, bathing a 2 pound 14 ounce baby was not exactly an easy task. Her nurse taught me how to do it last night, but I am a little scared. I freaked out because they had to take all of her leads off of her in order to do it, and I was completely convinced that she was going to BRADY (when her brain forgets to tell her heart to continue to beat), and she was going to SAT (her oxygen saturation drops below 85%)...see you learn something on my blog :-) But she didn't, and it went as smooth as pie!!!

So...Daddy held her oxygen by her face, and Mommy got to listen to the wonderful nurse, so that next time I can do it all on my own!

It was Daddy's turn to hold her last night and she was wide awake and making lots of fun faces for him!!!

Courtney-

This is Leigh..Kirk's wife. I was checking out your blog and your precious little girl. I am so sorry to hear about Ryder. I can't even imagine how difficult that is. London looks so adorable..I thought my babies were tiny and they were 7 and 8 lbs!! She looks like she is progressing well and I will be anxious to hear when you get to take her home. My sister is pregnant with twins from invitro and she is due in May. So it is kind of nerve racking and will be until the babies are here. Anyways, just wanted to say hello and congratulations!
Kirk, Leigh, Peyton and Raegan

Was so excited to find your blog and the bonus was to see pictures How tiny, how absolutely perfect, looking at her makes my arms ache would be so wonderful to hold and rock her. I do wonder though if Mom and Dad share as it looks to me like neighter of you can get enough of her,a very lucky baby she is to be blessed with so much love.. Glad things are going well and may it all just get better!!!! Think of you so often. Give her an extra hug from me.. Love to all.
