Emma was getting light therapy for a few days, but hasn't needed it the past couple of days, she is happy about that. Emma did not like the bright light and seems much more comfortable now.
Mike and I are finally able to hold little Emma, she is so sweet... I wish I could snuggle and hold her all day, but NICU only allows 30 minutes twice a day.
Emma is usually asleep when we come and visit, but when she was only 3 days old I was able to snap a quick picture of her with her eyes open.
Mike is already making Emma laugh :) She was so happy to see us and we were able to hold her.
Last night, one week after Emma was born Mike finally got to hold her! He was just going to let me hold her but I made him have a chance, and the nurse on duty ordered it! :) We are so excited to bring Emma home and Lilly is dying to meet her! Unfortunately because it is flu season Lilly isn't allowed anywhere near the NICU, so she has been patiently waiting to meet her little sister. Hopefully Emma will learn to eat and breath on her own in the next few weeks and we will have her home by Christmas.
