New Kid On The Block

Piper is so excited to announce that in April she be joined in this world by a Baby Boy Cousin... Uncle Dan and Aunt Amy had a gender reveal party this week unveiling the exciting news!!

Congrats kids!! Piper couldn't be more excited. (As shown by this picture when I told her "it's a BOY!!")

Piper had a good day!! The oxygen came off around 9:30am and as of the time we left there hadn't been a need to strap it back on!!

Mommy and Daddy got help from Elaina (a feeding therapist) on how to encourage her to breath and eat at the same time. Sister gets so excited about mommy milk that she forgets to breath. Thankfully, Piper and Daddy were quick learners and O2 levels stayed in the 90's!!

I noticed twice today she would cry something fierce and each time it was when she had the hiccups. I know sometimes the hiccups hurt me - so I can only imagine how it feels on a freshly opened sternum. Poor Baby!!

Dr Haw came around this morning and said the incision looked great. No signs of infection and the culture had yet to grow anything. Thank you Piper's prayer warriors!!! Thank you Lord!!!

Let the prayers rise!!
