here are some pics! still haven't had time to sit down and type up a birth story! it is definitely a long one. maybe tomorrow i can swipe a laptop to use while she's sleeping or something.

she's still doing extremely well. only problems are she's a bit anemic but that's completely normal and she started having some slight breathing problems today but that's also normal because her little lungs are not used to working so hard, or even working at all! mommy did that for her for 8 months! lol. she's having trouble eating on her own but she's retaining most of what they're giving her through her tube so the nicu are going to try to just get her strong and big enough to take out the tube then we'll start trying to feed and hopefully even breastfeed before too long.

doctors say if she keeps up this progress she might get to go home in 2-3 weeks! go baby go!

Taken the MORNING India was born.
India's incubator. Looks so intimidating.
India a few hours after birth. Look how red she is!
A little foot!
India two days ago before she started having breathing problems.
India this morning on her respirator. [April 21]

Aw she is so tiny and cute. I hope she does well and will be home very soon. Hope you get the chance to tell us all about what brought on her early arrival.

it's so hard to tell who she looks like right now because she's so wrinkly! but so far from the milisecond glances at her eyes, which right now are bluish green, she'll prolly look like her daddy. all of his siblings look alike so his genes are very dominant. but it's hard to tell right now. her eyes will prolly turn more green since his eyes are very blue and mine are green and yellow.

Wow- little did you know that would be your last pregnant belly picture! Cute little tummy you had! You didn't look very big! LOL How much did she weigh again? And she was how early???

She is very cute...and so small!!! WOW Glad you can maybe try breastfeeding soon- that is REALLY good for preemies.

The day you deliver, outside will be warm. Your baby will arrive in the evening.After a labor lasting approximately 5 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 8 pounds, 15 ounces, and will be 17-1/2 inches long. This child will have blue eyes and dark hair.

i'm so glad i picked up the camera that morning! i know, i was tiny! but i had a very...pointy tummy. lol. she weighed 2lbs 13 ozs and was born at 32 weeks and 2 days.

Oh- that is pretty good size for 32 weeks though, pretty close to 3 lbs, so that's good! What an ordeal though!
