I have never seen such a smiley baby in my life! I'm sure it was because she was so happy to be home after a week long stay in the NICU. She was getting tired of being poked and tortured in there! And we were sick of it too. We couldn't be more excited to have her home and in our arms.
Her big sis was on top of the world. We are all smiles around here.
Bryn is just so in love with Mayzie. She uses the most adorable baby voice when she talks to her and loves touching her cheeks and giving her kisses.
This is the first time Bryn was able to see her sister. So sad it had to be through glass, but it took 4 days for her to even be able to do that. Mayzie was born in the hospital in Boise and had complications with her breathing so she spent the first 6 days of her life in the NICU. She had a whole lot of fluid in her lungs and wasn't able to breath on her own, which made it impossible for her to eat for the fear of her aspirating again. So they had her on oxygen with a feeding tube as well as an iv in her little hand. Once she was stable it took a few more days for them to wean her off of everything. Luckily for us after 4 days we were able to be transferred to a hospital closer to our house to make it easier for me to go back and forth from home to go feed and visit her. They don't allow anyone under the age of 18 into the NICU so Bryn was just confused and not really understanding what was going on. Needless to say, she really struggled this week. My mom was so patient to put up with her acting out. Once we got to the NICU in Meridian they at least had a window that we were able to let these sweet girls finally meet each other. 
Here's Mayzie being transported to St. Lukes Meridian.
This was about 30 min after she was born. You can see how blue her hands and feet were. 
Poor baby. It's hard to see your child like that. I just hated that this was the only world she knew. She was so cozy in my tummy and the second she comes out she is tortured all day long. I just wanted her to know that this would not be her life. I just wanted to take it all away for her and snuggle all day. So that's what I've spent my day doing since we've been home. I am so in love with this little girl.
We were so blessed to have my mom come (and stay an extra few days) to help us! I don't know what we would have done without her.
Wide awake!
Daddy and his baby girl.
This is where we spent most of our time. Hanging out in the hospital room together. The hospital was so awesome to give me a room to stay in for free (haha- I'm sure I'll be billed enough through her NICU stay to make up for it). I slept there every night and went back and forth during the day every 2-3 hours.
I love watching these two girls together. Joys of my life. Welcome home baby Mayzie! We are so happy to have you in our family.

You are such a sweet person and I love to see your cute girls and know you are the best mommy ever! Hope we can get together someday soon and meet each other's kids! BIG HUGS to you!!!!!

Tawni I can't imagine how that would be! So glad that she is home and safe with you now! poor baby girl, she looks so happy now and so beautiful! Your girls are adorable.. glad that one of us gets to have girls sheesh! Tell Dan Hi for us!
Congrats! She is so adorable. Two girls together is so much fun. That is so hard when they have breathing problems.(That is how Char was.) I am pretty sure I cried the entire night and then some. We are sure happy for you and love you tons! Can't wait to meet her.
yay!!! so glad she is home and doing well! she is adorable and oh my gosh look at that head of hair! Congrats again miss you!
Wow! Look at that hair! She is so gorgeous! I'm so sorry for your struggles with her! I only got a small taste of that when Deacon had to go back to NICU after he was born, but it wasn't even close to how bad you had it! But I know how hard it is not to be able to hold your baby and to have them all hooked up to IV's. I'm so glad she's doing better! We want to come visit soon!
