Mattea is doing pretty well. She has a PDA, which is a vessel in her heart that usually closes at the end of pregnancy but because she didn't make it that long it was still open. It causes a heart murmur. It look as though it is starting to clear up and close on it's own. If it wouldnt'have close we would have had to send her into surgery to get it closed. She also had an infection but she just finished her antibiotics and look to be doing really well. The Dr has increased the number of times we can hold her a week to twice. She was taken off of the ventilator a while ago. She is really strong will and has a mind of her own. We can definatly see her personality and it's starting to make us nervous (just kidding). She really is fiesty and the nurses tell us she has a little attitude. That's good cause she needs to be a righter right now.
She's really wiggly and has an attitude and she likes to work her way out of her bed. She often sleeps with her hand on her face like this too.
Wide eyed lil' wee.
Our precious girl. She's getting lots of hair.
She's so tiny. We can hold her in one hand. She's wearing one of the hats my Mom knit.
Daddy's little girl. She has him in the palm of her tiny little hand already.

oh my good ness. I was afraid of all those things. Preemie babies are so prone to infection and other things. I sure hope everything works out and that they dont have any long term effects. When she holds her hands in front of her face it's really common for preemies cuz they dont know how to control those arms so thats where they end up. Keep us all updated. I hope it works out.
im so glad you put some more pictures up. i need to come see them again. i miss them so much during the week!! i hope everything goes ok with mic too. they have changed so much since they were born. little miss has a head full of pretty hair! you'll be putting it in a pony before you know it :)
Thanks for updating. We feel so out of touch and far away and hope you guys are doing OK and handling everything OK. We pray for you and your little ones every day. Glad to see there is some progress, however slow it may be.
