Oh she is so gorgeous and look at all that hair! :HH: So relieved to see she pulled through, what a difficult time it has been and still is. Wishing you all the best mama, you did so well. Take good care of yourself, you've been through a lot. :hug2:

Wow she is just gorgeous! She could not be in better hands lucky your DH is a paramedic that must give you such peace of mind. What a fantastic mother you are, I am sure she will keep stacking on the weight and have her tubes out soon sending you lots of love Xxxx

Thank you for sharing. She is beautiful. And in very good hands with you as her parents xx

Thanks ladies! I hope we can get rid of the tubes soon too. Yes, it is nice that my husband is used to dealing with emergencies on a regular basis and has had the unfortunate experience of coding babies and children. Of course, he knows the most important thing to do is to call 911 in the event of any emergency, as our resources at home are quite limited.
Everyone expected me to have another boy. I feel like most moms I know with 2 boys who had a third had another boy. I was okay with another boy although my ideal has always been 2 boys then a girl.
My favorite aunt, who has 2 daughters (one who has a PP then another girl) told me she doubted I would be lucky enough to have a girl after 2 boys. My husband has 2 brothers and his mom's sister had 4 boys. My mom has 4 brothers and 1 sister and they all had 2-3 kids of the same gender except my aunt who had a girl after 3 boys. I feel like the odds were against me. And then we almost lost her. My heart breaks for the babies we saw in the NICU who didn't make it.
I feel like we got a lot more attention from people for having a girl. Maybe because of how early she was born, but part of me thinks some of it was because she is a girl. It makes me sad for baby boys, they are so wonderful!

She has done well so far at home! She decided to pull her feeding tube early in the morning today so we are giving her a chance without it. Finally a pic without all the nasty tape on her face. She's gained over a pound since coming home. Even nurses a bit. And has moved out of newborn size. I'll update again when she's older.

Wow! What a beautiful little fighter! I don't think anyone could tell from that picture that she is a 24 weeker!!! Well done!
