we're getting there!

The NICU opened back up, things have calmed down. We talked to the doctor and they took Marlee off of the cpap machine!! She's now down to a feeding tube and an IV. Her Xrays didn't look as good as the doc wanted them too, and they're suspicious of pneumonia, so they're keeping her on antibiotics for another 5-7 days. She has a skin tag below her right ear and the did a renal sonogram on her and determined everything looks wonderful, no problems, so they'll remove it.

We went and I got to attempt to breastfeed and I also got to change a diaper!! She decided to pee on my hand...it was wonderful LOL.

I think she looks like her daddy here.

    what a cutie pie!

    jack had two skin tags about that size right next to his ear. we had them removed at about 9 months old (they wouldn't do it earlier) and now he just has a scar - not even raised, just a red line. it didn't bother him healing either and it was a 2 inch scar. the plastic surgeon told us that it was pieces leftover from the ear forming in utereo - i thought it was interesting, but he didn't have an answer when i asked if they would have still been there if he went to term.

    that's exactly what I thought when I saw the skin tag, it looks like it's supposed to be apart of her ear.
