One week after arriving in Texas, she is almost back to her original birth weight, and has completed photo therapy for jaundice. Audrey continues to take more milk and less fluids from IV. Hopefully in the next week or so she will begin to breast and bottle feed. It is difficult to imagine this teensy girl without all the wires attached. Looking back at photos of Wyatt's birth, I am in awe of the vastly different experience this has all been. The pregnancy and birth have been so filled with worry, it seems like a hazy dream. Hard to believe we have a dear baby girl who will actually come home with us in a few weeks and become a vital part of this pretty cool little family we've become! She may not make it home in time for Wyatt's birthday, but hopefully we'll have her here for David's. I can't think of a better way to celebrate!

She looks great! Much plumper than the first pictures. I am glad she is making such positive strides. Can't wait until she's home!!! Thanks for taking the time to post an update.
