Lydia was born on Friday, March 14th at 5:23 p.m. She weighed 4 pounds 13 ounces and was 18 3/4 inches long! She is beautiful and we are already so in love with her! She has done so well since she was born. She has been breathing on her own, which means that she never had to go on the ventilator! That was one of the worries with her being so early! But she is strong! She started feeding on Sunday morning and they have already increased her feedings from 10 mL of milk/formula to 15 mL!
We went home on Sunday...and it was so hard to leave her! We know that she is in good hands and that they are taking wonderful care of her! We will be making lots of trips up to the NICU to see her though! They have not told us when she will come home, but hopefully in the next week or two. We are ready for her to be home with us.
Thanks again for all your prayers...that is what has gotten us through this so far! God has been so good and we are thankful for the support from our family and friends! We love you and will keep you updated!

She is so precious! I'm so happy she's doing well. It won't be long at all before you are able to bring her home. Until then you are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you!
