Our little research participant

We allowed Adaya to take part in a research study on Friday. They are studying the healthy lungs of full term newborns. The hope is that this study will better enable them to help the premature baby, who's biggest issue is it's underdeveloped lungs. It was a no brainer to let her participate. If studying her lungs could save another precious life. Then as a mother, I can't think of a better way to support another mother. She was asleep the whole time, and didn't even realize what was going on.

Only a week old (8 days? 9? What day is it?) and she is already doing her part to make the world a better place!

Today is 9 days. Last Friday was only 3 days.

I can't believe how many posts you've posted already Angie! It took me like a year (ok--a little exaggeration) to write a post after Ava was born. :)

Go, go, super mommy!

Yes, but I'm sitting around the house, recovering from major surgery. I'm not the mother of an infant who was trying to finish her masters degree.
