Pictures of Tristyn Joy

Here are pictures of Tristyn Joy, Brook's little girl. She was born 5 weeks early on May 28th. She stayed a 1 1/2 weeks in NICU but she is home now. She did have to come home on a breathing monitor. When she goes into a deep sleep, she would sometimes stop breathing, or her heart rate would drop to low. This is common in premature babies and she should not have this forever. She was 18 inches 4lb 7oz when she was born. After she was born, they were able to tell that Brook's high blood pressure was effecting her more then they thought. They could see more stress signs on the baby. It didn't look like she was under stress because all of Brook's signs were good. Tristyn did not grow much the last bit when Brook was in the hospital as a result. They do not think she would of made it through a natural delivery either. God was good and gave her dr the wisdom to know this and we are all thankful!!!!

Tristyn came home from the hospital at 4lb 9oz and this week was already up to 5lb!! Brook has to wake her up every 3 hours to feed her. She is tired but is doing a great job. Here are a few pictures. Length wise premature outfits fit her, but not anywhere else!! She is beautful.
