Hello everyone! Things are going great down here. Little Natalie is doing great! She is still in the NICU, but Val has been breast feeding for the last two days! She has taken to the "boob" really well, just like her daddy..hehehehe! MICHAEL!!(As my mom would yell!)Shes looking really good and pink. Here breathing is 100% better. We are hoping to take her off the O2 today, and start weening her off the IVs and Antibiotics. Sad news, we wont be able to take her home today. They will probably keep her for a couple more days. Val will be discharged, but we are trying to see if we can stay longer. Keeping our fingers crossed.
My greatest joy so far is singing to my little girl. Every morning we start with Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and end with Over the Rainbow. She seems to love my voice, and love vals touch. The minute val snuggles up with her, she stop crying.
Heres a quick pick of her this morning. I know she may look a little chubby, but shes really small, only 18 inches. Dontcha just want to pinch those little cheeks! heheheh
I want to thank everyone for the flowers and gifts that were sent. Val room is covered in flowers, i think the last time I counted there were over 10 bouquets of flowers!! It smells really nice. Thank you also for everyones kind words. We love you all, and please keep us in your prayers. It makes it that much easier knowing that Natalie will be surrounded by such loving friends and family!
All our love you everyone!

Congratulations!!!!!!! We are so happy for your little family. Natalie is precious and Val looks great, even after 18 hours of no sleep.
I hope everything goes well and you get to take her home soon.
Give a big hug to Val and your baby for me.
