Little Brady Faith

AAHHHHHH!, originally uploaded by thereagans.

Tonight we spent about an hour and a half with Brady. Most of the time was spent with the isolate top lifted so we had a lot of time to interact. The nurses were quite busy and there were a lot of people around our little area so we weren’t able [...]

I got to hold my baby today!!!! It was so special and as long as she continues to do well I get to hold her everyday. Her leg isn’t swollen anymore, but her arm and hand are still a little puffy. She was doing better with her heart rate, but was still having a few [...]

So, Erik and I got to visit our daughter twice today. It was so wonderful. Erik missed his little girl. Thankfully he is feeling much better. It’s really hard to not have your child at home with you and then even harder when you can’t go se them.

On Friday night I felt a bit of a sore throat coming on as I was going to sleep. Unfortunately the next morning upon waking up I had no voice. My throat was sore and I could feel that it was a hair swollen. I probably went 3 or 4 hours miming my words to Nikkie. That [...]

Yesterday was another good day. Again, the nurses tell us she is doing wonderful for her size. Erik and I went up there and sat just looking at her for about an hour. You would think you would get bored, but just to look at her little tiny back ( they keep her on her [...]

Hey guys. I just wanted to write a post about a few easy ways to follow this blog. I know a number of you are just coming here occasionally just to see if there is an update or a new entry. There is an easier way to stay updated if you don’t enjoy doing that over and [...]

Today marks 5 days since my Brady entered the world. It seems like it’s going by so slow yet so fast. Erik and I went to to hospital today to visit our little girl for the first time since leaving the hospital. Yesterday it was just too much for me to get out of the [...]

So, my darling little one entered the world just a tad bit early this week. It’s been an amazing and terrifying experience. Amazing, b/c she made it and terrifying b/c things like this aren’t supposed to happen to you and when they do your whole world turns up-side down. My baby girl is doing as [...]
