I had my staples removed the previous night. They used a tool similar to that of a school staple remover. There was a couple times during the night when I had woken Craig to help me up but then he’d fall back asleep. So, after a couple of times I decided to take the 7 minutes and very carefully get myself up. Besides, he looked so peaceful sleeping there.

Whenever I went to the NICU to drop off the milk I brought the camera. Here are little videos of Alyssa.

Take note of how massive her diaper is on her. These are the newborn diapers.

The next time I came in she had her soother in. She gets a few good sucks and then rests for a few seconds.

Now at 6am she is wide awake. They had to take a blood sample so I had the honour of trying to keep her calm. I had one hand cupped on her head (preemies like this, makes them feel secure) and the other trying to keep her arms down so she doesn’t scare herself and keep the soother in at the same time. She didn’t even flinch when the nurse had to prick her tiny foot. This is her afterwards, a happy go lucky baby. That green thing in her mouth is a soother. The smallest they come!!

I love the videos! Soon we'll get some of Mya.

Love Lindsay
