Yesterday was Adam's first Father's Day and he got the best gift ever. He finally got to hold his daughter! It was so sweet to watch and of course I cried when they put her on his chest. I couldn't stop smiling either. It was so wonderful to finally be able to watch him hold her. Lauren was very content during their 3 1/2 hour cuddle time. Adam fell asleep during part of the time and I loved watching them sleep. Adam loved his time with her and I can't wait to see it again. The NICU staff also made a card from Lauren to Adam with a picture of her with her eyes open and CPAP off her face. It was so sweet and yes I cried at that too. :) Lauren is still on CPAP and holding steady. She has been needing some extra oxygen every once and a while, so they have to play around with the settings to find her sweet spot for the day. She also weighs 2lbs now! They are adding more calories to her milk feedings with some human milk fortifier...mainly just extra vitamins and minerals. Her incision from the surgery is healing well. Still no Insulin and they are slowly turning down her IV fluids. Father's Day was so special for Adam and we had a great day visiting with our daughter.
