Praying for you, Ansley, and your family. The NICU nurses are pretty much angels that walk among us. The fact that Ansley seems to be a fighter already is a great sign.
One of my former coworkers had a NICU baby - his daughter was not expected to survive at 24 weeks (she miraculously did and the only life long issue she really has is she's small for her age). One of the greatest things he said to me when I asked him how he was holding up was "it's the neatest thing in the world - now I get to watch her grow from the outside" and he lit up.
Take care of yourself, momma. Some day this will all seem like a distant memory as your family unit thrives.

Baby #2 - March 2017
My daughter was born at 29w0d but was only 4 oz. heavier than your daughter, and she is a happy, healthy 4 year old now.
I'll be thinking of you and Ansley!
