Sunday October 21

Today started off with a good report from nurses calling our little Aubrey "feisty." We wouldn't expect anything else considering how feisty her Mommy can be. We've decided that since since Aubrey came into the world at 3:57 a.m. and is a fighter, she is our little .357 magnum. Not a surprise considering who her Daddy is.

The afternoon brought on tears of joy from all of us. Mommy and Daddy got to put on gloves and touch their sweet Aubrey.

To prove how awesome our God is and strong our Aubrey is she was able to come off the breathing tube this afternoon. This is what her Uncle heard today from her NICU nurse:

"How in the world a one pound baby doesn't need oxygen, I don't know... Thank you Lord."

This little girl is amazing everyone.

NICU nurse to us tonight: "I don't think we've ever heard a 24-weeker cry...they usually have breathing tubes in at that time and can't cry. I'm pretty sure this is the first one i've heard." That's my baby. Thank you, God.

After that first touch Mommy and Daddy were pretty much in awe and beside themselves. I think we all would be if we were in their shoes.
