Our First Family Visit!

On November 4th, we took Isaiah into the NICU for his first visit with Faith and Makaila. This also made for the very first time we had been together as the McMahon Family (and this is still the only time we have been together as a family).

The Little Tanners!

These are photos that were taken when Faith and Makaila were under "the lamp". The UV rays help reduce their levels of jaundice, but its bright, so they wear little cotton sunglasses.

More of Faith and Makaila

Little Faith on Day 3. That little red light you see on her foot is a sensor that measures her oxygen saturation. - November 1st

Makaila on Day 4. In this photo, she is on CPAP. The tubes in her nose provide constant pressure, but let her breather at her own rate and do the oxygen saturation all on her own. Other than being a little cumbersome and stretching out her nostrils, it isn't as invasive as the respirator and allows her lungs to grow strong without doing any damage to them. - November 2nd

Day Two!

These are some pictures taken on Day 2 of their lives!

Makaila's First Day!

These are some photos from the first few hours of the first day of Makaila's life!

This is Makaila still on her cart about 2 hours after she was born by c-section. The bag she is in is to keep her warm and moist until they can get her temperature stable and into an incubator. - October 30th

This Is Our Photo Blog!

Rather than trying to fit all the photos amongst the entries and updates of our journey into one blog, we have decided to start a second blog page just for our photos. We hope the photos give you a visual insight into our lives. So, keep checking back, and we'll keep putting photos up!

Blessings,

Graham
