Cute pictures

Here are this week's latest cute pictures. Also, our friend's baby has been taken off the ECMO machine and is now "only" on a ventilator. This is good news, and they say that she seems like a strong-willed baby, so that is great too.



How's that for a smile.

Hard at work.

Sisters

Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes! So far Anna is a pretty easy baby too. She has a bit of day vs night confusion, but it's not too bad. Catherine has been really good with her and, if anything, is trying to kill her with her kindness. -- Waking her up to see if she needs her pacifier, etc. It's very cute.

Also, if you're a praying type person, I ask that you keep our friends in your prayers. Their daughter was born two days after Anna, but aspirated mecunium during delivery and had to be transfered to Children's Hospital in Detroit. For the last six days she has been on an ECMO machine which acts as a partial lung / heart bypass machine. Their other daughter is a week younger than Catherine, so you can imagine how confusing this is for her too.

Tom, Jen, Elizabeth and Adam came in this weekend. Catherine shrieked and ran in circles when she saw them the morning after they got in.
