Little Miss Jemma is a little over a month old and is doing fabulous. She now weighs 3 lbs 12 oz. Yep that's right she has gained 2 pounds. She is also just on a nasal cannula for oxygen support. She will hopefully be moving to a NICU in Reno so she can be closer to her parents. Jade and Jaycee are living in a trailer at the hospital and it isn't easy. Thank God for making everything better. Jemma's NICU stay has been uneventful for such a premature baby. We have been blessed! I actually got to hold her for the first time on Sunday Feb 17th and it was amazing. Here are some pictures taken that day and today.

She is fierce....

I am sorry I haven't had time to stop in and update I started nursing school the week after our precious little one was born and I haven't had time to finish my other posts or add a new one.  But here is a little summary of how the journey has been going....


Jemma Jean is one fierce little miracle. Her time in the NICU has flown by. She has done amazing she now weighs 2 lbs 12oz. yep thats right she gained a whole pound. Yeah Jemma. She is 30 weeks today and 3 weeks of that being out here with us. Except for the incident because of the UVC she has had no problems. She has done better on the outside than she did inside. Thank God they delivered her. God has blessed this baby and I am grateful. The doctors are saying that they believe she will get to go home in about five weeks. Please continue to pray for her.

Here are some pictures that share some of the story until I have time to update again!
