Our Beautiful baby girl was now 2 days old boy was she a fighter. We later found out that this princess weighed only 2 pounds 2 oz . The after she was born the doctors made me rest I didn't feel like eating but mom made me eat something and she threatened to spoon feed Campbell because he refused to eat . But eventually he ate .Campbell wouldn't leave my hospital room he stayed by my side and when I got upset he would grab my hand .The morning she turned 2 days old the nurse asked if we wanted to see her in the NICU we said yes . I didn't need a wheel chair I told them I could walk Campbell was already wheeled out the door before I got a chance to get out I caught up to him and he grabbed my hand and smiled . The nurse guided us to the NICU when we entered I started to cry I saw all the machines all the babies I just wanted someone to direct me to my daughter that's it when they did i saw my most precious girl laying on her tummy with a tiny bow in her hair .
campbell : who put the bow in
nurse : I did I hope your not mad
daphne : cries : no it's precious ..
nurse : were about to put a NG tube to give her some food would you like to talk to her maybe she will be calmer
Campbell looked at me and and said he remembered having a nose tube right after his accident he explained to me what it was and I cringed when I found out it was going up he little nose . Campbell wheeled up to the crib and they turned her over and i saw her whimper I couldn't watch campbell touched me and said it's okay . I walked over to him I laid my head on his shoulder and started crying he looked took his hand and rubbed my back . I slowly stood straight up and I saw them start to place the tube in . I looked up to the monitor and her heart rate was going down they stopped for a second
Campbell : cries : is she okay
jane : yeah miss lily's just nervous
Campbell : sweetie daddy's here right here don't cry
. I didn't know what to do I looked at Campbell and we smiled at each other . Campbell went to wash his hands and he put his hand in the bed and lily touched his hand they started to put her nose tube and it went right in with no trouble I kissed Campbell's back . And he acted like he didn't notice he was just in love with his daughter I washed my hands too and laid my hand in the bed beside Campbell's and our sweet girl started to drift off to sleep .
nurse : she's alright now say I got mommy and daddy
campbell : she's got them right here yeah
daphne : were right here baby girl
I laid my hand in the crib for maybe 5 min but Campbell kept his in . I looked at the clock and he had his hand laying in there for 30 min finally the nurse told him he needed to take his hand out and he didn't do it easily .
Campbell : cries : I can't ... I wanna leave it here
Jane : we gotta change shifts but I must admit she loves her daddy's hand
campbell : cries : lily daddy will be back tomorrow with mommy
jane : say okay daddy
lily was touching Campbell's hand and I think thats what made it hard Campbell slowly took his hand out and they said lily started whimpering . Campbell wheeled out of the NICU and i went after him when I caught up with him I saw tears pouring down his eyes he grabbed my hand and kissed it
campbell : cries : why is it so hard for me ... Huh
daphne : cries : it's hard for me too I just gained this attachment you have had it since I found out I was pregnant Campbell .. I love her just as much as you do okay I do campbell i just hate seeing her hooked up I wanna hold her take her home not watch her squirm in a bed
