Baby Lily


Baby Lily is doing great!!! Yes, she has a name now!! You can see how small she is next to my hand. Also, I am holding the tape measure at 12 inches. She's 15 inches long, but not when she scrunches up!! I put one of my rings almost around all of her toes so it can give you an idea of how little she is!! She is off the ventilator after only 1 day and is breathing on her own, which is amazing for how young and little she is!!! She has oxygen but it's more like a CPAP machine, it's blowing air into her but she is breathing on her own. She loves to stick her feet straight up in the air, it's so funny!!! She still has her eyes covered because she spends most of her time under the lights to help with the jaundice, which is very likely to come because of her age. We are so grateful that she is doing so well and we are so happy to welcome her to our family!!!
