Things are looking a little better...

As always I'm gonna try and make this short as I am physically draining myself. The late nights updating, up throughout the night to sit w/ my precious baby girl is priceless although I need to make time for myself to heal. I am barely eating, still taking some pain meds and on my feet all day. My ankles look like they belong on an elephant! I thank you for praying for my healing as well. A c-section is no picnic...but I wouldn't have had it any other way!

Eva is doing better than earlier. Her breathing became very strenuous and you could see the struggle. It wasn't long before she was comfortable w/ meds but she was then sort of in a daze and her numbers were still low. I truly thought that it wouldn't be long before she left our arms to His...but obviously God has other plans and Eva continues to fight (fight like in just not ready to go yet, not fight like she's in pain because she is not). My little warrior! The meds help w/ the pain and settle her and help w/ her breathing. The meds last maybe an hour or a little more. We were worried she'd need them continuously but they seem to have worn off and she is still calm and content. We think she plummeted due to numerous things...the nurse says several visitors (not that she was being held but I guess just the talking over her can stress her out a bit - this is surprising to me cause there are many a noises in the NICU you'd think that would stress her too), her temp was extremely low which could have been a factor as well...and I personally think it was due to the change of her oxygen levels (just my guess cause it was up then they took it down then she went down so they put it back up and so on).

So as of now she is stable. Heart rate is up and breathing is okay, could be better...praying for this to improve. Temp had gotten too high now so praying for regulation there as well. Praying for a peacful night for all of us...Eva, Vinnie and I.

God has taught me today to "Be Still"...likely meaning continue to live in the moment, each moment that he has and continues to give us. I was so trilled w/ where we were today that I was looking ahead to Monday. Oh how fast things can change and I have seen that tonight. I will try hard to be still. I will continue to cherish each and every second. I will deal w/ Monday when we get there...no hurries, no worries...baby steps have gotten us here we will continue to move forward w/ baby steps. You cannot ask for patience you must earn them. Well I am learning to earn them.

Praising God for again another day. As we approach Eva's 6 day birthday I sit in aw at all that we have been blessed with. As always His timing will be perfect but it doesn't hurt to continue to ask for more time. Hey if I asked for poop and got poop I'll continue to ask for more time!

Praying for a good stable night. And for many more days and nights to love on and take in our miracle baby girl. What an Easter miracle she is!

Many many more pics to come...it takes a while to do and I am just too tired tonight. Soon...I promise.

Dominic held his baby sister! Praise God for that! He was willing and wanting to do so. Praying for more cuddles from Dom and Mya too! Dad held more today too! Hallelujah!
