Kelsey is doing better. She's off the CPAP and just on oxygen. She's off the light therapy because her jaundice is going down. Her coloring is sooooo much better, still just a little dark around the eyes. Since, she's off the lights they have her swaddled. So, they let me bring her own receiving blankets and even let her wear some cute little onesies!!!! She looks so precious!!!!! She's starting to gain weight as she continues to take her momma's milk. She is working on getting up to the amount she should be taking for her weight. She's up to 4 lbs 0.2oz

You might notice she looks darker here but it's better now. When Keeton stayed with a friend of ours from church (Kim), he made this cute card for his baby sister.

I told Nana, everyone is going to be jealous because one of the nurses let her hold Kelsey up for a quick photo while changing her bedding. Grandpa got to do the same a couple of days ago but no one was there to snap a pic. : (

I've been changing her little diaper and taking her temp. Yesterday, she was very active and momma was having a hard time changing her diaper. I didn't want to hurt my little girl. Then just as I got it changed she went pee pee again and I had to do it again. But, I was smiling the whole time!!! Ok, maybe I was concentrating and smiling on the inside. We're wondering about her hair color. It looks very light here but I think that's the flash, but it is on the light side, especially on the ends. Doesn't her coloring look better here!!!!

Also, some of you already know about the sweet article Andy wrote about his little Kelsey girl but for those of you who don't, I think you would enjoy reading it. Andy and a friend of his that also has hemophilia have a blog called http://www.sweetaffiction.com/. Here's the link to his article. http://www.sweetaffliction.com/recentposts/kelsey-our-little-%E2%80%9Cup%E2%80%9D-baby/

Thanks again for all your prayers and support!!! God has truly blessed us with so much.
