Last night we got to hold Becca for the first time. I was a bit nervous as we drove to the hospital. Susan, her nurse, bundled her up so we could look at her face for awhile before 
letting her snuggle on our chests. Susan was Becca’s the nurse on her first night in the NICU and it seemed appropriate that Susan would be there the first time we held Becca.
Becca seems much smaller when she’s out of the incubator – I was 
surprised how tiny she is. We were delighted to be able to hold our little girl and were pleased with how well she handled being held. We’re allowed to hold her once a day (being held causes her to burn more calories) — as long as she’s handling well.
Becca now weighs 2 lbs and 7 ounces. Today, her doctor increased her feeding to 11 ml per hour. Right now the goal is weight gain. Thank you for your prayers for our family!
You guys look like naturals, and your smiles tell it all. I’m so happy for you. Another ounce is awesome…she’s growing well. We continue to praise God for her progress. Love you!!!!
I just re-read the post and noticed 2 pounds SEVEN ounces. That’s great. A jump from yesterday!!! Such great news. Sorry to double post, but your entries just make me so happy.
So happy. These pictures are precious, and I can’t imagine the emotions you all had as you held her your arms for the first time. What an answer to prayer about the weight gain!
