I'm guessing most people who read this are friends with Nate or me on Facebook, but for those of you who aren't, here are some pictures of our beautiful girls...
 |
| Sophie in the stabilization room immediately after birth. The girls were immediately taken into this room, where a neonatal resuscitation team was ready and waiting for each of them. Nate was able to follow the girls into this room while the surgeons sewed me up. It seemed like the longest 30ish minutes of my life! |
 |
| Evelyn in the stabilization room |

| Both girls were under the bili lights for a few days on and off. Today (Sunday) is day #2 with both girls off. We're hoping they won't have to go back under. We hate that they have to wear those silly sunglasses! Also, both girls had breathing tubes put in on Sunday and removed on Monday. Here is Sophie with her blue lights and her breathing tube. She's sticking her tongue out too, which she loved to do for her first few days! |
 |
| Daddy doing skin-to-skin with Sophie. These are our favorite parts of the day! |
 |
| Evelyn just after her CPAP got taken off. One of our first opportunities to see her whole face! |
 |
| These are the smallest pacis they have... they are too big for our girls, but they still like them (sometimes). |

Thank you for continuing to pray for our princesses! Both are tolerating their feedings, which are being increased daily. Both girls are now gaining weight slowly but surely. Sophie may be able to take her CPAP off later today or tomorrow! She has been doing great with breathing on her back today!
Love,
Nate, Sara, Evie, and Sophie
They are so beautiful Sara and Nate! We need to be so thankful for modern medicine and knowledgeable doctors to care for your babies! God is good and thank you to Him for blessing us with the care and knowledge! So happy for you both and continue to pray for you all and loving the pics!!
ReplyDeleteSo pleased to see these. Not friends with either of you, friends with Corrie Post and got to following your story and praying for the VPlog Babies along with her.
ReplyDeleteHello!
