5 Weeks Old Today!!

Sydney is 5 weeks old today and we are very happy about that! God has been so good and she's doing so well. All her routine tests have been great and she's doing her best to grow.

Guess What?? Her Daddy got to hold her for an hour last night! We had hoped that he would have been able to hold her on Tuesday night but her heart rate was slightly elevated again and we didn't want to over stimulate her. It worked out for the best though because our new favourite nurse, Tonya (shh...don't tell the other nurses) was working last night and she went out of her way to accommodate us. We have LOTS of pictures today because she just insisted on taking all kinds of pics, set up in different ways. She's like Sydney's personal paparazzi! :laugh:

When we arrived, her heart rate was a little high but we decided that she needed some Daddy snuggles anyway. Of course, we got her out and her vital signs improved IMMEDIATELY. She wasn't in his arms for one minute before she settled down and she stayed that way for the entire hour. As soon as we put her back in her bed her heart rate went up a bit again. :laugh:

Anyway, stay tuned for pics!
