Here's our little angel! Charles made this pix and Rachel sent it to us last night! Isn't it precious? I love it! we're so thankful Powell is OFF THE VENTILATOR! ....I had a new experience yesterday, going into NICU! I've never been in one before! First we go in and scrub up. Signs everyhere: "WASH!" then Charles has to sign in. 2 plus a parent can go in at once. once inside, it looks a lot like a Intensive Care Unit for adults, only there are little babies under warming lights and hooked up to machines, etc. You can't help but look around. Lots of babies (and twins) under lights, etc. It's amazing, these wee folk in those little beds under lights, growing almost before your very eyes! Compared to the little ONE POUNDERS, Powell almost looks big. HE IS NOT , tho! He is still tiny. .You would have to see him next to a full term baby to see how small he actually is. But, having said that, his legs look long and his hands look big to me on such a small little fella. So, I think he'll be tall! Rachel's dad was tall (and very handsome!!!!) and, of course, so is Charles! So , I really think he does look a lot like JIM!!! Blackish/brown hair (of course, it will probably lighten up) but those dark eyebrows, especially look like Jim and Jay (Rachel's brother). TERRY thinks he looks a lot like Charles, I guess every person will see him differently and you can see BOTH Charles and Rachel in his face.But , he definitely doesn't look like Charles looked when he was born, tho! Not at all! The one thing that DOES look like Charles, for sure tho, is his hair! YEP, i do believe Powell's hair might end up curly! It swirls JUST LIKE Charles' hair did! HAHA! And, of course, Rachel has curly hair too! I hope so ! I love curls! ...I just have a feeling Powell won't be staying in the NICU for very long! Of course, he'll lose a little weight, even full term babies do that (except PATRICK!I think he went home added a few! haha! FYI, Patrick weighed 9 pounds 7 oz when he came!). This time next year we'll be saying, "I can't believe THIS BABY ever spent time in the NICU!" haha.....he is our little angel, our Christmas Miracle and we are so thankful to God for him and for every pound he will gain in the coming days!!!!!!
