Chapter 10 - Tiny Fashionista

WE DID IT!!! Dani Marie was moved into an open crib. This means she is now putting her tremendously large for someone so small wardrobe to use. We love it! This means we get to cuddle her more. I have to tell you just how this all came about....

Monday afternoon I left from school and drove to our home away from home (The NICU) to meet my husband. He had already spent the morning with Dani Marie (compliments of Toyota's swing shift). Her temperature had been going up a little as the bed heated to warm her tiny body. She was scheduled to get a new bed, and possibly an open crib this coming Saturday. The nurse decided it couldn't possibly hurt to just ask our doctor about moving into an open crib early. She called him and he said.....

"No, she is still too small. We usually don't try them in the open crib until they are a little older. She is still only 32 weeks."

The nurse came and told us the news. We understood completely even though we were a little discouraged.

Five minutes later the phone rings. It is the doctor.

He tells the nurse, " Well, you know since we don't know exactly how old she is and she took her bottle earlier than we usually try it, let's give it a try. If we need to go back to the old bed we will."

Well, guess who held her temp up?????? That's right, Dani Marie.

I'm learning so much from this little lady. I love the fact that she refuses to believe that she is "too small" to do anything and that reminds us all just how big our God is.

So, here is our fashionista modeling her very first outfit! Enjoy the pics!
