5 pounds 4 ounces
17 3/4 inches long
After 5 days in the NICU we are so happy to have Cora home with her brothers and sisters. We are truly blessed.
Leaving the hospital with one of our many wonderful NICU nurses.
Car ride home
Meeting her big brothers and sisters
Getting snug in her new bed
She came home with a bili blanket since her biliruben levels are still high, but we are so thankful they let her come home today! You can read part one of her birth story here.

Hi Toni. Your posts brought tears to my eyes! I delivered my daughter under almost identical circumstances 7.5 years ago. She weighed 4 lb. 2 oz. and was 16 in. long, and spent 10 days in the NICU. She is strong and healthy now. It’s good to see you Cora doing so well! God bless.
