Day 6...and so ready to leave St. Mary's

Currently Audrey is in a crib in a new spot in the NICU. After talking to the nurses, we all agreed that she was laying in the coldest spot in the room, so we moved her down a few beds....all of the nurses are pulling for her. One nurse even walked by when Brandon was taking her temperature and was chanting, "98.6, 98.6..." We need her to stay warm outside of the incubator all night long and then we "think" she will get to go home. Say a little prayer for her and send her warm thoughts.

Almost time to come home...

We can't get enough of her...

Daddy has Audrey's room ready to go at home. Lots of hot pink and butterflies!

Still at St. Mary's...

Well, it's officially Saturday night and we're still at St. Mary's. Audrey has now been taken off of all of her "tubes and cords" and moved into a crib. It was too hard for her to keep her body temperature up in the crib, so they put her back in the incubator to warm up. They are slowly trying to get her out of it, so that she can come home with us. This is our last hurdle before we get to go home.

Today she tried out her car seat and pooped all the way up her back to her armpits in the process. She quickly got a bath! Daddy is a pro at changing dirty diapers already! She is a great eater. We've "kind of" got this breast feeding thing figured out too. Hopefully we'll only be here two more days at the most...we are so excited to get her home!

First Visitors

Everyone was very excited to meet her! Abby was here too, but apparently we missed that photo! Sorry Ab. Send us one!

AUDREY KARA JENSEN

Our little angel is here! She suprised us on Monday, August 3! Mommy's water "broke" at 2 in the morning and the rest is history. We went to the hospital at about 7 a.m. and she arrived at 7:24 p.m. She is 5 lbs 4 oz. and is 17 1/2 inches long. She got to stay in the room with us until about 10 last night and then they decided to take her to the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) because her breathing wasn't great and she wouldn't eat. So, she's still there and they tell us that today will be a big day for her. They are slowing taking away the oxygen and fluids and we're going to try to get her to eat again today. So, we will just go sit by her all day! Brandon is a great daddy already. He went down to visit her several times last night.
