Our sweet little girl is 1 month old today! If any of you would have told me at Christmas time where we would be right now, I would have slapped you. Once this whole thing started, I had no idea what one month would bring either. Knowing how far we've come in 31 days is amazing to me and the fact that we've made it to this point with so little complications is truly a blessing. Going to the NICU every day takes a lot out of me and it's hard to be there and talk with the different parents and babies who are going through trials that are so much worse than ours and Darbi's. It's a very humbling experience but we thank our Heavenly Father every day that he has blessed our family. Here she was this morning when we came to see her. Sorry the picture is a bit blurry. She's been doing so much better with her oxygen saturation and when we got in there to do her cares, she only dropped a little bit! She was pretty calm for us today!
Here is a picture of her little foot. Ignore the bruise. That was where the IV was last week that infiltrated. It's healing nicely and looks much worse than it is. Her little foot is so long though! I had to get a picture of her toes. Both Clint and I have "finger toes" (toes as long as fingers...) and apparently she inherited them. Our little monkey! She could peel a banana with those toes...
Happy 1 month birthday Darbi!!
