Big things!

We are accomplishing big things these days.  We are proud parents of a beautiful, sweet baby girl!

Today she is 3 lb 8oz.  Her feedings have gone up to 30 ML/3 hours.  She still is fed over thirty minutes though.  We got to Jackson in time today to feed her a bottle.  Rob did most of the feeding and they were regular pros (after nurse P showed proper techniques)  Premmies have a 'reflex' you could call it to hold their tongue on the roof of their mouth.  They can't suck when this happens.  You have to time sticking the bottle in their mouths at the same time.  We are getting the hang of it...and she took her whole bottle.  Next to master is burping :).

She went for some of the day without oxygen.  When she is on oxygen, it is just 10 ML.  Nurse B says it's a 'whiff' of oxygen so we are ok with this.  Still this is caused by her hemotocrit being so low.  Once that comes up, we are told the oxygen will be a thing of the past.

We got to do her bath tonight.  We took a little longer than usual because the stickers on her face needed changing.  Boy did she let us know we were taking too long and messing with her TOO much!  So we quickly swaddled her, put paci in, and closed her up for the night.

She really is doing astounding things and amazing the staff!  God is so good, all the time!
We love yall and really appreciate your continued prayers!
