The Fight for Life

Day 6...you can see he's gotten a bit lighter, right? He really wasn't that dark the first few days, what you saw were all the bruises that he got from his delivery. His delivery was so fast that he got bruised. At one point, he was actually 2 colors... a dark and a light color... some bruises went away quicker than others. In this picture, he's a nice color!! :o)

On Day 7, they had to change his ventilator and this is the first time that I got to see his lips. Can you imagine how happy I was...? I HAD to take pictures. My booga man was really under there! :o) He did NOT like the tape coming off his face. But I'm sure none of the babies in the NICU enjoyed it.

On Day 9 of his fight, he starting to look awesome! I could really see what he would look like. And he looks just like his daddy! I was so blessed to have him in my life. He's fought a long, hard battle and I couldn't be prouder.
