Claire Leaps Forward!

Yipppee today is a wonderful day as Claire has been breathing so well she has officially made the jump from the cpap to the nasal cannula. Basically, all a cannula is is that little clear oxygen thing they put on your nose at the dentist while they are doing a filling, very noninvasive. This is a HUGE step and we are sooo excited! Now it is pretty typical for a baby to have to go back onto the cpap when they get too tired and then try the cannula again in a few days but we are hoping that Claire just sails on through. We finally got to see her entire face and it is soooo cute! Now her nose is still a little misshapen from the cpap but that should all work itself out in a couple days. Hopefully, Ella will get a chance in the next week or so. Slade may need a little more time as statistically white males progress the slowest opposed to their female and ethnic counterparts (the nurses call them "wimpy little white boys").

We are just thrilled and can't wait for the day that all three of them can finally show their beautiful tiny faces! Go Claire Go!
