Pictures of Adeline: 4 days old

Here's a picture of me holding Adeline this morning in "Kangaroo" position.  They put her in the front of my shirt so that we have skin-to-skin contact and it helps to maintain her body temperature. She loves it. She just sleeps and is so content the whole time.

All of the stickers are for various monitors and the tube in her mouth will be used to feed her until she is able to coordinate sucking and swallowing... hopefully very soon!

Tonight we dressed Adeline in her first outfit!  Thank you to Jessi and Becky for thoughtfully providing a premie wardrobe!



Today was an awesome day. We spent hours with Adeline and she is growing and maturing by the minute.  Tomorrow, we will begin working on feeding and developing a coordinated suck/swallow reflex.

  1. Melissa and Rob, AND Sweet Adeline!
    Prayers have been flying for you all these past several days, and I'm so happy that all is looking up for you. Can't wait to see more of her, as she grows. She is just beautiful. I'll be in touch. Just know I have been thinking of you all so much. Love, Kim
