Thanks so much for all of your kind words, prayers and good thoughts on the arrival of our little girl! They are all so appreciated! I'm hoping tomorrow to finally post an quick blurb of how the delivery and birth went to get out little Brynn as well as some pictures I promise. Sorry I haven't been better about updating. Things have been a little hectic and the internet connection not the best. Thanks heavens for Meredith!
Sorry for this quick update - I want to post it before it's lost in the land of the big dark hole of the internet that seem to go with this hospital, LOL! Brynn is doing great - she is able to now stay with us and is not having any problem with breathing at all. Her bilirubin levels have stabilized. Her main challenges continues to be some difficulty with feeding - but even those are truly not that bad at all. We are so grateful for all of the bullets we have dodged with regards to things that appeared during her delivery that did not surface until that time. I'll try to go into more detail tomorrow, along with some photos of our little miracle. I promise!
Pretty much I spend the day pumping and trying to get her to feed, but to see her get down a few ml of fluid and then a few more is so rewarding! I have never been more in love with something that weighs less than 5 pounds and it only grows deeper everyday.
Well, I'm off to pump and catch a little sleep. But once again - thank you so much for all of your good wishes. We are touched beyond words.

Sara, you continue to amaze me. I'm so glad to know someone like you.
And as for Baby Brynn: please give her a HUGE hug from her (virtual) Aunt Becky, who cannot wait to hear more about her.
Lots of love to your family of three!
Sara,
Take your time, it's okay. I'm gagging for details, but I shall patiently wait. As I recall once the euphoria wore off the sleep deprivation was bordering on psychotic. So no rush,

You take all the time you need! After having to sit around and do nothing for so long, it must be quite a change to be so busy.
I'm so looking forward to seeing a NON-u/s picture of Miss Brynn!!!

Keep eating, little one. Good for your husband and your mom also. They helped get you ans Bryn where you are! YAY for support!!!!

So good to hear from you directly. I have a friend who is in her 50's and was born around the same gestational age as Brynn. She had a few feeding issues too, but now she's quite a sucess! I have great hope for Brynn that she will figure out this "Eating with my mouth! What's wrong with my belly button?" issue and be home in no time.
Thank you for checking in Sara! I can't wait to hear more news, but really I can wait. Take care of your family and yourself and check in with us when you can!
Congratulations mommy and daddy!! So glad to hear you are all doing good. Thinking of you. Hugs to you.
How wonderful! I can't believe she's out of the NICU already! GO BRYNN!!
I'm so happy to hear that you guys are doing so well! I hope that Brynn starts eating more and that you all can go home before you know it.
So pleased to hear your beautiful Brynn is doing so well. And you sound as if you are enjoying every single minute of it. Congratulations and best wishes from way over here.
Yeah!! Glad you stole a moment to post. I think everyone was getting sick of me:)

Congratulations again! I can't believe she's in the room with you, how amazing! Best of luck with the feeding issues, that is the one area I felt completely unprepared in. But it does get better. So rest up whenever you can, we'll wait (semi)patiently for some pictures ;)

Oh Sara!! I'm so happy for you! I feel like I've been completely out of it lately (the whole week's been a blur ... probably much like yours! LOL!)
Just know that I'm sending big warm HUGS to you and Brynn and your hubby (even though I've never met him).
Can't wait to see pictures!!
