Okay, so I fell behind a little bit on pictures. Therefore, I have prepared for you a feast of photos. Enjoy!

A rare glimpse of tubeless-babyface; they took it out for a minute to clean it out and suction her mouth

I absolutely love the updated photo’s that you share with us.. an angel sent from heaven for sure.. Lisa you are so funny, As soon as I saw the pic with her looking at her nails, I thought, she is about to sing “Stop in the name of love” Too cute!!
I just love these latest photos. She is so cute and good for her on gaining weight! Love it!
She is fixty hojillion kinds of cute. 😀
Love all the updates. So happy to see everything moving in the right direction. Found out about Leah and her Moms from a friend of yours and have been spreading the word. Your story hit a ‘little’ close to home. My partner and I had a baby in the NICU for 16 days at the end of 2011 with meconium asperation. He was 8 1/2 pounds and easily 3 times the size of most of the babies in the NICU but his lungs were in bad shape. We couldn’t hold him for 14 days. Not even for a second after he was born. We were fortunate to not have to wait too long (though any wait to get your baby home is agonizing) to bring Oliver home and to also live near the hospital. I hope you have amazing doctors and nurses and support. Take care of each other and know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Ollie and his Moms from PA
Gretchen, thanks so much for your comment and for spreading the word about little Leah. Wow – I am so sorry to hear about what you went through with your baby. It was hard enough not being able to hold Leah for the first few days while she had her vent – I can’t even imagine having to wait two whole weeks. I’m glad you got to bring Oliver home relatively quickly, though! Thanks so much for sharing your story and also for your thoughts and prayers. We appreciate it!!
YAY, LEAH!! 🙂 She is a cutie pie. Thanks for the updates
I LOVE the “Supremes” photo – my absolute fave. I read Leah’s blog to Ayla every day or two and show her Leah’s pictures. We both eagerly await the day that Leah is strong enough for a playdate. In the meantime, if there’s anything you need, please let us know!
Leah is the cutest! Katherine and Emma love looking at her, especially the videos. Emma loves her, and says, “Baby” every time she sees her.
Awww! That’s too cute!
She is so beautiful! I know you don’t know me, but I know Dee, and I want to get to know you both so I can volunteer for babysitting services in the future! 🙂
Thanks Kelly! I’ve seen your comments on Dee’s posts! 😀 Thanks for visiting. Haha – right now we can’t stand to be apart from her but I’m sure the day will come when we’re ready for babysitting services 😉
