As Promised...Pictures of Paizlei

As promised 4 weeks ago that I would upload some pictures of Paizlei, here they are...FINALLY! The adjustment of getting her home and having not just Hunter to take care of, but adding another child to the picture...not very easy, espcially when one is VERY active and doesn't stop except to sleep.

Picture #1 - Paizlei was 2 days old. Her skin was really red because her hemoglobin was extremely high. The IV in her head was taken out that day and moved to the other side of her head because the vein collapsed. She also had IVs in both hands that were removed because of the same problem.















Picture #2 - Paizlei at 6 days old. Her skin doesn't look near as red. She really likes her hands up by her face. This binkie is almost as big as her face!















Picture #3 - 2 days before we brought Paizlei home. She actually pulled the feeding tube out of her nose later that night and they left it out because she was feeding so well! It was a wonderful sight to see her and how beautiful she was without all the IVs, wires and tubes everywhere!














Picture #4 - Paizlei just this last week! So precious!

She is so cute and so tiny! I am so glad to hear that she is doing better and hang in there, it does get easier with two:)

Oh my goodness, Heather! She is SO cute! We've seen the pictures you send us via text, but these pictures are a lot more clearer. We didn't know she had to have an IV in her head after birth. But we're glad she's home and everyone is learning to adjust. Hopefully we can see her soon!

Oh heavens! She looks so tiny in that big car seat. Congratulations.
