In mom's room

Battley has been bathed and checked head to toe. She is now in Catherine's room. Everyone is taking their turn passing her around. Gwen asked the nurse if it is possible to "ruin" her before she even gets home. The nurse said if the family doesn't do it the nurses in the NICU will! If you checked the latest pictures I sent out you have seen that Battley has a full head of dark hair. The nurses put a sweet little pink bow under her little cap. As far as Battley she is one tough little girl. The Dr. Says her lungs look good and they think they will be able to take her off the oxygen soon. They haven't tried to feed her yet because she does have a small clef in her palette so she is on a feeding tube. They will do a sonogram later today to check her heart. Adam was with her the whole time she was in the NICU. The photographer (jennifer) said Adam wouldn't leave her side while she was back there, and he got to help give her her first bath. Oh, Adam said he also got to help with the first poopy diaper! It doesn't seem fair that the moms do all the work and the dad get to enjoy these first experiences! Catherine should get to come home Sunday or Monday at the latest. If Battley doesn't get to come with her hopefully she will follow soon after. I'm heading out now to let everyone rest and enjoy some family time together. I'm sure Adam will post some pictures once he has some down time or I'll try to do it from a computer I know a little better! Oh I can't sign off without saying that Hayden also held Battley now that she she been cleaned up :)
