Maddy Pics!!

Here's our first picture of Maddy, one day old in the NICU.
She's a chubby baby - part of her condition means that she's got a lot of excess skin. I think it's cute ;) She'll grow into her skin with time ;)
Her bed is kept under this cling wrap. I haven't asked why yet! The nurses let us take it off her so we can touch her and hold her hand though.
There, now she's uncovered :)
The CPAP machine helps her airways to stay open so that she can breathe stronger. Maddy has a velcro headband that holds it in place. Stylish!! Looks like she's just been to the gym ;)
She doesn't really like the CPAP and wiggles around so it will come off.


Here's all her machines - she's already got a few computers especially for her!!
This is what Daddy sees when he's sitting down looking at his angel :)
The NICU ward
Maddy after she successfully wiggled out of the CPAP ;) I think she looks like Lana!!

  2. She's a cutie Nicole! I just want to pinch her cheeks (gently). She looks to be strong and determined and those are very good traits. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
