I am Auntie Again!!

This is my favorite- Noah Gabriel Legg 1/20/09 Look at those cutie pie lips- dont you just want to kiss them.....

Noah and Scott's hands- look how tiny

Noah did not like laying oin his side- his nurse (Brantley- who was fabulous!!) had him on his side with his legs on a little pillow- but he didnt like laying that way, he squirmed and wiggled, she finally turned him over onto his tummy and he loved that.

Here he is on his tummy- snoozing away

Big sister Teagan and Noah- Noah was getting ready to go to Florence, and the nurses brought him into Holly's room to say goodbye. THey opened the doors of his isolette so that Teagan could touch him and tell him bye. It was so sweet. She took this picture to school the next day and wore her big sister shirt, she got to show her picture suring show and tell. She said that everyone wanted to see it 3 times. She is a very proud big sis.

Well who would have thought that we would be looking at Jelly Bean already. My sister Holly who was 31 weeks pregnant had to have an emergency c section on Monday (MLK Day). Her placenta had become 50% detached, so Dr. Price ran (yes ran) from his office to the hospital to deliver Noah (aka Jelly Bean). Noah was born at 4:56 pm. He weighed 4lbs 4oz and was 16 3/4 inches long. Because he was 9 weeks early his lungs were not fully developed, his Dr. thought that it would be better to have him in the NICU unit at McCleod hopsital in Florence. So the NICU unit nurses arrived with their special equipment and packed our little Noah up on Tuesday and headed to McCleod. Scott and I went to Florence, (Holly was still in Conway Hopsital),to check on Noah and being the very overprotective, soft hearted Auntie that I am , I wanted to stay with him. I didnt want him to spend his first night away from us with strangers all by himself. So I stayed, there was no where to sleep, I just sat in a chair beside of him and talked to him throughout the night. I told him about his family, and how much we all already loved him. He would wiggle his nose and scrunch up his face. His eyes were not opened yet, so he couldnt look at me, but I know that he heard me.

Well its day 3 in Florence now, and Noah is doing better, they were able to remove his breathing tube, and IV that was in his umbilical cord. He even opened his eyes today and his mommy got to hold him. So it looks like things are improving for our little Noah.
