Miss Penny is now 1 week old and is doing great. She did have to stay in the NICU for about 5 days. They were monitoring her oxygen and her blood sugar levels. It was very hard to see her all hooked up to the monitors and with IV and oxygen. Luckily the oxygen was only for a few hours but the IV was the entire time. They had to move the IV from her hand to her head. It was so sad to see that taped up there. She got poked multiple times in the feet since they were drawing her blood so often. But she was a champ. I have the best baby in the world, she never cries, just makes really funny faces. The only time I have seen her cry was when they removed the tape from her hair. She did not like that one bit. We finally were able to take her home yesterday and it has been wanderful to have her here where she belongs. I am so proud of her and how well she is doing. She loves to eat and sleep and has the most beautiful blue eyes. I must admit that me and James are completely taken and in love with her. We are definatley blessed to have her in our lives.
