Moving...

Shelby was moved out of the PICU for the first time on Friday. This is her new room and it's huge, she even has her own bathroom! (which is nice for me!) And we can use cell phones here because there is no life support equipment in the Children's Surgical Unit.

Pretty baby!

Don't you love that face! This is her new toy that we bought her, I love giraffes and he even plays music!

Tummy Time


I know these ones she's not on her tummy but aren't they just cute pictures, she's so pretty!


This is the first time Shelby was ever put on her tummy and she did lift her head a little. They are some pretty good shots of her extra hygroma skin.

Happy 1 month!

The hospital is great at being really involved and knowing what's going on, they made Shelby a poster and give her gifts and everything.

For most of her short life Shelby has had a hard time opening her eyes because of the swelling and things like that but she has definitely started to get better!
Looking around, so cute! And her pretty birthday bow is adorable!
She was finally ex ta-bated successfully on Monday and so Travis was able to hold her before her left! She already got him wrapped around her little finger!
Travis took this, it's a little blurry, but her tried! j/k

Recent Fashions of Shelby

The only "clothes" Shelby has are her blankets and her bows so we kind of go all out on them!
The birthday bow made by Jamie at bowlicious!

Purple to match her blankie!
Pretty in pink, my favorite bow also given to Shelby by Jamie!
Hawaiian day!

Update (3 weeks old tomorrow!)

So this is Shelby with out any wires or tubes in her tummy, for the first time in her life! All the little red dots that you can see are where all of them were.

There is something wrong with her liver and the specialists can't figure out what that is so they are doing all different kinds of tests. They took her today to the Nucular Medicine department for a special liver test called a HYDA scan, anyways sense they took out all her wires and everything the past couple of days they only have one IV to put her meds in, but the dye they use for this scan couldn't be mixed with the meds so they had to put an IV in her head and I hate it! But if it helps them figure things out then I guess it's worth it.

Update...

Ok so lets just start from the beginning... sorry it took so long to post but lets just say I've been busy. So just keep going down because I uploaded a lot of pictures!
Me before c-section and huge!
Shelby right after, they thought she wouldn't be able to breath by herself but she proved them wrong, as she has continued to do.

This is her pretty face, and when I tell people that she was very swollen I don't think they ever really bleive how much but her's my proof, she looks like she was beaten (she wasn't) but just compare this picture to the last one of her on her and the difference is amazing!
This is her hygroma, in utero it was pretty much a bubble of extra fluid about twice the size of her head but at about 30 weeks is just deflated and no they don't know why or how just like everything else about her.
Her legs and arms were huge, I don't even think the pictures do her justice!

Very swollen!

Big baby, she weighed 8lbs and 4 onuces when she was born but has sense dropped signifigantly because it was all water weight as you can see.

Ok so this is my all time favorite so far... this is my family!
They had to life flight her to Primary Childern's even though it's pretty much just down this long hallway but whatever, they thankfully mad a pit stop so I could see her for the first time!
