The rest of the hospital stay

Dec. 26th:  6 days old. Chillaxin, listening to some tunes. Ears checked out

 Dec. 28th: 8 days old.  Waiting to be checked out.

 Look what I can do with my lips

 All dressed ready to go home. 

 Finally home at 8 days.  It was truly amazing she responded so well, we were expecting a longer stay.  

 Grace has been so excited to hold and feed the baby.

Grandma Stott and the girls.

Miss Eliza meets the family

The kids finally visited miss Eliza today.


Merry and Eliza


Grace and Eliza.
Adam lasted about 2 minutes in the room and then Brian took him to the cafeteria and bought him a brownie. Jacob was too busy playing games to pose for a picture.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve, the elf comes to visit.

Look Eliza is off of her lipids now she just has to eat enough to get off of her IV completely.

If I keep my eyes closed maybe he will just go away.

Brian and I spent the morning with Eliza while Grandma Stott wrangled the rowdies at home.

Chug, chug, chug.

Another great close up, thanks Brian.

Once we got home we reenacted the Nativity, left Santa some cookies, sprinkled some reindeer food on the lawn and went to bed.

Thanks to Grandma Stott for wrapping all the presents.  Totally not prepared this year.

The kids let us sleep in until 8AM, hooray, then I did not even take 1 picture of Christmas Day.

Best Christmas present ever, Eliza was weaned off of her IV over night.

Look who visited Miss Eliza

Our elf on the shelf Marvin decided to visit little Eliza today.



They are pretty close to the same length.


She is back up to her birth weight.


Eliza and her Daddy.


Look how happy she is.

Eliza- 1,2 & 3 days old

Day 1:  The cpap came off and I finally got to check out her cute face.

Day 2:  She had such a great sucking reflex, no feeding tube was needed. 

I finally got to get her out and hold her.

I am still amazed how well she did for how tiny she was, we were so blessed.

Day 3:  How perfect is she?

More prettiness.

Love the puffy lips.

Check out the hair.

Grandma Stott comes to meet Miss Eliza.

Cute little Eliza

Since I am still in prison at the hospital, all my pictures are from my phone.



Little Eliza is starting to gain some weight again. Hooray.



Check out the hair. Love this Nicu it has all private rooms with windows.


She has a view of Checkers and a giant oak tree. If only we were on the other side of the hospital we could watch the Bucs game this afternoon.


Hello world.

Look what Santa dropped off early

Our sweet, little miracle Eliza was dropped off a little bit early (33wks). She weighed in at a hefty 5 lbs, which was pretty big for her age. She is a feisty little thing and is already breathing room air and eating on her own.
