We just got off the phone with the NICU and Cora is doing much better. I am getting ready to go over there now, so hopefully I will have more information soon.
Here is a picture from right before they took her to the NICU yesterday.
Last night we got to hold her in the NICU, it was great!
I am still not allowed out of bed without help and on an IV. I am hoping to get off it very soon so I can get a shower and move around better.
Yesterday was rough, but today is looking much better.Thank you for all your comments and prayers.
Always glad to see a smile on Mom’s face. That mean’s good news. I, along with plenty of others I’m sure, said a prayer for baby Cora and family.
Here’s to getting healthy and enjoying the newest addition to your family.
Cheers and Congrats!
She’s so precious! I hope you both continue to do better!

Yea!! I’m glad baby Cora is doing much better! Great pictures.
Oh Toni, she is beautiful! I am so glad to hear that she is doing better.

Congratulations!! What a beautiful little girl!
Praying for you, Cora, and the rest of the family during this time!
Congratulations! She’s beautiful! Praying that you both heal quickly & can be home soon!
What a sweetie! Our son was born 2 years ago and he had to be taken to the NICU with lung problems as well. That last picture made me think of him. He looked just like that. Today, you’d never know. He’s more energetic than any of my other ones! Having a baby in the NICU is scary no matter what problems they have. I’ll be praying for you and sweet little Cora.
Congratulatons!! I’ll be praying that she is healthy enough real soon to go home with you.
Laura
Adorable…I’ve been thinking about you guys
Wish we could be there. Good day for a birth day!!!
(Glad I get to share it with you Cora)
Wow you look amazing.. She is the cutest little peanut.. Continued prayers for both of you..
Glad to hear all is well. My son was in NICU too…how wonderful you get to hold her. That will help to have Mommy holding her I’m sure. Congrats!
Cora is gorgeous. I’m glad to hear she’s improved so quickly.
She is so sweet. I hope you both feel better soon.

What a beautiful little girl! I will be keeping you, little Cora, and your family in my prayers. Hope you begin to feel better soon.
So happy for you and your family. Take care:) NICUs are staffed with incredible people they will take care of you and your little one
Congrats…she is beautiful! I know first hand how stressful it can be to see your baby all hooked up and in the NICU. We will be praying that she will be able to join the rest of the family very soon!!!
She is beautiful! Glad you all are doing better. God willing, you all will be able to go home soon.
Your both in my prayers!
What a beautiful girl you have! The picture of Cora on CPAP took me back. My daughter looked at the picture and asked if it was her as a baby, lol. I hope your NICU ride is short and uncomplicated. It’s a terribly scary thing to see your brand new baby there no matter how well they are doing. ((((hugs!)))) Take care of yourself. Running back and forth to the hospital was exhausting for me and she was my only child!
Sending prayers that you can get that IV out ASAP and that Cora continues doing well!
That first photo is wonderful! You both look beautiful and happy. So glad to hear that you are both making progress. Still praying for you both.
What a beautiful baby! I’ll be praying for Baby Cora – what a precious name:)
So thrilled to hear she is doing better. You are in the midst of a rainstorm of prayers.
Congrats on the birth of your beautiful baby girl. You are all in my prayers!
So glad to hear things are better today. I know she is a fighter just like her Mommy!
Continuing to pray for you both.

I was in the hospital a total of 21 days and made sure the first AM visit to be very clear I REALLY wanted shower. They unhooked my iv stuff and just taped a big plastic sheet over my iv site so I could get a shower—sometimes it was midnight by the time it could happen but whatever it makes an enormous difference in your emotional attitude. Especially if you have to be traveling to the NICU and back in elevators with regular folks coming in off the street in real clothes and make-up.
You’re gorgeous, Toni! Not to mention how beautiful baby Cora is. I know it has to be hard to see her hooked up… I’m praying for you all… so you can leave with her as soon as possible.
Congrats to you and your family! Be well!
She is so beautiful!!! God is so good! What a wonderful litle blessing he has given you! I will be praying for you both!
Oh my goodness, that looks like a smile on Cora’s face! So glad she is doing well; I so hope the hemoglobin thing (or whatever it is) works itself out. One of my sisters had to have blood transfusions after one of her babies. Something about vitamin K helped her avoid it with the next one? Thank God for our doctors, really. When we really need help, we have it. I hope you are feeling better.
