10 days old today! Who ever would have thunk it??? Sweet Claire seems to be getting stronger and stronger. We are very happy with her eyes, she is getting better control over them and not letting them roll back up into her head as much. I think she will be able to see us one day (if she can't already). Her color is fabulous. She also has enough strength to move her head, she can't really pick it up though.

Today was a tough day for her (and us). We changed out her NG tube, which meant we had to pull all the tape and glue off her fragile face. She seemed to take it well (better than us). The nurse (Sherri) could not get the new tube down her other nostril, so we had to go back into the same side, which meant we had to re tape her already chapped left cheek. It seems her right nostril is smaller, so Sherri could not get the tube down that side, hopefully next time we can do the right side. We also tried to give her a bottle again, but to no avail. Claire did not want anything to do with it. We are going to keep trying to get her interested in her pacifier so she can learn to suck.

I have to keep reminding myself just how tiny she is, 3lb4oz. THATS TINY!!! The pictures don't really show it. She fits right in the palm of your hand.

Camille seems to be getting a cold, and this has us concerned for Claire (and Camille). Tammy has become the "germ Nazi", (buy Lysol stock).

Tammy and I both left the house today for the first time since we went to the hospital. We were both back within 2 hours, and as good as it felt, neither of us could wait to get back. Keep sending us comments back (or emails), we love them, and please keep up the prayers!
