Harper Elizabeth Meabon was born at 7:58am, weighing 6lbs. 11oz. The doctors were very pleased with her size and the size of her omphalocele. The O was smaller than they anticipated but still classified as giant since it contains her liver. It was about the size of a large plastic Easter egg.
As of now, we will wait for the omphalocele to be covered by skin but we might be able to take her home a little earlier than originally anticipated. They are saying at least a couple of months.
The C-section went well and I'm feeling good. We were able to spend time with Harper before coming up to the room. Jared and the grandparents have been back and forth checking on her. They have started her on formula until I can pump and she ate 30 cc/1 oz. We couldn't be happier!
She is just precious and I can't wait to spend some more time with her. I should be able to head down to the NICU tonight when my legs are back and working.
Thank you for all of your prayers! God is good and they are being answered!!!

Brooke what a beautiful little girl and she just looks so cute in your photos! I am so happy for you both...take care of yourself especially since you had a c section. It is easy to get sucked into the NICU world and not want to leave but be good to you too!
Congratulations to you all! Harper is absolutely precious. I am thinking and praying for you all. I bet she is a fighter with quite a personality like her Mommy! I can't wait to see you all soon!
