January 24, 2010 Day 29

Well it is offical I have BPD.  It is a lung condition that lots of preemies get.  It is scary for mommy and daddy but for me no big deal.  I am determined to home with out this oxygen and be breathing on my own.  I just need a little extra help right now is all.  So for now I get a little bit of back time until I get too tired and then they flip me over on my belly and I am fine right away!

Every day mommy comes in the first thing she does is put her hand over me and pray (after she does her three minute scrub of course).  She tires to be as specific in her prayers as she can be but sometimes there is so much to pray for she dosen't know where to start.  Mommy is so thankful to God that I have made it this far and so am I!  I could have never done it without his help! 

 Also everyday we have singing time.  I am now in the habit of waking up when it is time to eat and so at my 3:30 feeding we sing songs like, "You are my Sunshine" , This little light of mine", "Jesus loves the little children" " I am a Promise" and "Jesus loves me"  That one is my favorite, I always move and dance when mommy sings that one to me.  I love singing time even the nurses have commented on how much I focus and pay attention during that time.  Mommy says it is because she sang to me all the time when I was in her belly!

Finally tonight Nurse Jessica decided that since I have so much hair and am so pretty that I needed a hair bow.  I feel so pretty with my purple bow!  Thank you Nurse Jessica!
