Open Air

Audrey's been fattening up, and this morning she was given approval to sleep in an open crib!

It's very reassuring to see her out of the isolette...she feels less like a science experiment and more like a baby girl.

She's back to her birth weight, and if she maintains her eating & body temperature, we'll be able to show her off through a small porthole near the NICU waiting area (Yep, just like orangutans at the zoo.).

Thanks for your prayers; we look forward to showing her off in person soon!

We've also posted some pictures of our recent convalidation ceremony; yes, we're already married, but since Erin has decided after a long year of study and prayer to join the Catholic church, we said our vows once more to one another to receive the sacrament of marriage in the Catholic church.
