Mylie Rae Parks
Born 3-2-11 @ 0330
3lbs 14oz 18inches
So far she is doing well- she is breathing on her own and so far has not needed any oxygen. She does have an IV and a feeding tube. As long as she continues to do well they will keep her here. Dr. Granum said she needs to weigh at least 4 1/2 pounds, be able to eat on her own, and keep her body temperature up before we can take her home. Preston and Kacey are very excited about getting her home. They have only been able to look at her through the nursery window so far & are anxious to be able to see and hold her. I am beginning to feel 1/2 way human again without all the drugs in my system... Chris is a little sleeo deprived, but otherwise doing good. He has been very patient with me through all the misery of the side effects of all the medications and bed rest- which I'm sure has not been an easy task! We are just glad she is here safe & seems to be holding her own. I will post more
pictures after I go home tomorrow.

  1. Congratulations! I know being pregnant has never been easy for you, but what a wonderful mommy you are for enduring! Your family is in our prayers. Hope Mylie grows quickly so she can go home soon.

  2. She is beautiful. Congratulations!! I love the name--My middle name is Rae (as in Lindsey's and her daughter Anna's) Can't wait till she is at home and I can hold her. This is from Janet not Jason--I am using his google account.
