melanie and bella

me and my four kids--gotta love it

their first look at bella

a little snuggle time while being tube fed

i don't have any good pictures without her hat on, but she had a tiny perfectly-shaped head (not the typical cone-head look of a newborn) a little bit of hair, more in the back than the front

eyes open and holding mommy's finger

sweet baby girl

snuggled up in her isolette
