Much to our Surprise our baby girl made a very early arrival on December 31st at 1:58am via C-section. Ella Leona Burnett weighed in at 6 pounds 13 ounces, and 20 inches long. She was 5 weeks early. Because she was early she did have to be intibated for about 6 hours but then did very well and was only in the NICU for about 45 hours. She was one of the bigger babies in the NICU so we feel very blessed that she was only in there for a short period of time
This was the first bow that the wonderful nurses put into her hair. She is less then 10 hours old in this picture
The second time I went down to the NICU this is what I saw....a very large headband...not my favorite but they try very hard in the NICU to make the babies look cute
This is the first time I got to hold her, she was probably about 30 hours old. This was the hardest part about our little girl in the NICU was not being able to hold her right after delivery
After less then 2 days in the NICU she was able to come up and stay in my room with me. They were still doing testing on her but they were able to do it from my room
Parker and Ella Meet...he was so excited and called her "my baby Ella"
I was just so happy that he was OK with meeting her
How cute are they
Going home for the first time!!
