Here are the first photos of this tiny, beautiful, amazing little girl - my granddaughter!

Everybody did well last night. Darrin stayed at the hospital with Allison and they took her down to feed Charley every two hours. Charley is in the Neonatal ICU because she is small and they want to make sure she gains weight and is able to maintain her body temperature before she moves to the regular nursery. She is by far in the best condition of any baby in the NICU. All of her vital signs are good.
Grandma Nancy flew in from Albuquerque late last night. We all met at the hospital this morning and she met Charley, too. Charley Ellen was zonked out when we saw her - bundled up and sound asleep.

I think this little sweetheart is a real fighter and will be out of NICU and home on Sunday as predicted. I haven't seen Allison and Charley together yet but Darrin has some of those photos. As soon as I receive them from him, I'll forward them along. Allison is recovering well and is pretty sore but she's a real trooper. I am so proud of both of them - they are doing an incredible job.
Wow! I can hardly believe these last 24 hours.
