First pictures of Ollie

Here are some of the first pictures of Ollie. (Thank you Papa Bob for getting these downloaded).




Peacefully sleeping away.






Colt meeting Ollie for the first time. (Brad's wearing a mask only as a precaution. He is just getting over a cold so he doesn't want to pass along anything.)






Grandma Shari holding Ollie.



This is Ollie in his breathing contraption. This helped him get some oxygen pushed into his lungs so that his lungs could get rid of the fluid.

Trust me... it looks WAY worse than it really is.



As of Friday night Ollie is still in the NICU but he is now in his own little portable crib (the kind most babies move into right away). They are going to try and get him to nurse soon and see how he does with that.

We are so thankful for all the prayers, support and love. A BIG thank you to Grammy, Nanny, Papa Bob, Grandma Shari and Aunt Jessie for helping to watch Brody & Colt....and of course for visiting us.

congrats! he is so cute with those chubby cheeks. carter was in the nicu for 9 days for the very same reason. did he have trouble breathing on his own at all? to be honest, i look back and realize that having carter in the nicu was a blessing. i was able to rest up from my c-section and by the time he came home, i was much stronger than the first time around. love those nicu nurses! they are the best!!!
