Waiting on a little girl

Above is a picture of a preemie onesie next to a newborn size onesie. Maisy's clothes are so tiny and I feel like I will be playing dolls. I may even keep a few out for Gracie to use with her dolls when Maisy graduates to a bigger size.
This is Maisy and her cute dad. They were bonding last night at the hospital and she was making all kinds of cute faces at him. Maisy has made it to the graduate NICU now and the only thing keeping her from coming home to us is her eating. She needs to eat all of her food through a bottle (instead of a feeding tube) for 24-48 hours. She is getting close though and we are hoping that she will be home by Saturday.
Little miss bright eyes. She had her eyes open almost the whole time we visited yesterday.
This was my turn to hold the pretty girl. Did I mention she gets to wear clothes now? In the NICU they go all out and give them onesies and sleepers. She was all decked out in pink and her bed was all pink too. Who knew you had to go to the NICU to get all the nursery perks?

This is Maisy under the "billi" lights. She had high billirubin levels for a few days and spent a lot of time under the lights. Everytime I saw her, I thought off the tanning beds. I love the cute little goggles.

What a sweet little dolly indeed. I love the bright eyes picture! The onesie picture is amazing. I thought regular newborn clothes were tiny! My girls would sneak all the preemie diapers for their dolls for sure!

Ohhh Mags, she's so beautiful. I love those bright "Maggie" eyes!

Is it Maisy like Mazie or like Macy? I just want to get it right in my head. :)

I'm glad things are going well and that she'll be home soon!

Maisy like Mazie rhymes with Daisy.

She is so cute Maggie.

Blake was in the NICU for six days before he came home. I was super emotional while he was in there. It was so nice to have him home and feel like he was all ours.

I hope she will nurse for you. After being in the NICU Blake preferred a bottle so I pumped for him until he was 9 months. I still can't believe I did that.

She is such a miracle baby. I am so happy for you guys! Love you. Sorry for the super long post! :)

She is precious. Is it hard to not have her at home? Your family looks great!

She's adorable. You look like little miss bright eyes yourself! Certainly not like you just had a baby. I am glad she is graduating. What's the verdict on surgery? Talmage fit in preemie for about a week. It was amazing how quickly he grew out of them. I'm sure Maisy will do the same.
