A Few Not So Recent Pictures (Taken 11/4)

In our last post we said we would post bath pictures. But, after reviewing them this evening, we realized that most of them aren't "G" rated and none of them are particularly flattering of little Caili. Don't get me wrong, they're incredibly cute to us. But, Cailin may resent us someday if she knew they were posted on the Internet. So, to keep our word, here is just one picture from her bath last Sunday:

This picture was taken last Sunday (11/4) right after the bath. Tim got to hold her while they changed her bedding. She is nice and relaxed now after her tubby:
But, she couldn't fall asleep because our camera's auto-focus light kept shining in her eyes from all the pictures we were taking...hence the hand on the forehead! I'll tell you, Caili is doing a great job of showing how she feels at such a young age. I came into the NICU the other day to find the nurses laughing at her bedside. When I asked why they were laughing, they showed me...each time they lifted her isolette cover she would put her arm in front of her eyes to block the light. Not something the nurses typically see at such a young age. Do we have our work cut out for us or what???

This picture was taken right after we had to put her back into her isolette. We got her all comfy and cozy using her fancy "Zakys". A Zaky is a bean filled hand that you can use to help position, prop or comfort a preemie. Caili's Aunt Pam saw these in the Preemie magazine they keep in the NICU Family Lounge and bought them for Caili when she was only a week old. Caili loves them! And so do we. Please suggest these to anyone you know who has a preemie. If you need more info, just drop us a note. They are a Godsend. As you can see here (sorry, not the best picture) Caili has one around her head so she feels confined and she is "spooning" the other one. The fingers even help to hold her pacifier in place...an added bonus!

Hope you enjoyed the bath and post bath shots! We'll try to get some more recent onese up soon.
