A.M. update

I called down to the NICU a little after 8 this morning to get an update. Her nurse said she was doing wonderful. She was on room air on the nasal cannula (so just some air flow through it, no oxygen). She did have a couple heart rate drops through the night and one this morning, but that's nothing new. They did start her on feedings yesterday, 3cc's every 3 hours (there's 33cc's in an ounce) and she's tolerating them well so far : ). Her nurse did say she's had some "leftovers" sometimes, but nothing to be alarmed about. Other than that, nothing else to report : ). I will probably update again later. If I don't, don't panic ; ).

Wow Jen its amazing that she is doing SOOO good! She looks huge in all her pictures, especially her hand on your finger. She looks so long! She has some chunk going on too lol She looks sooo different compared to Ryan when he was born. She is actually pink and she has sooooo much hair on her head! It looks blonde in the pictures! Congratulations on your princess!

I'm so glad that things are going well for you guys! Brooke was born at almost the same gestation as Dustin was (he was 27w5d). He was on the vent for a week so she's already doing better than he did! Congratulations on your little girl. Before you know it you'll be able to go home w/ her! Keep posting pics. I love to see how she's doing and have been thinking of you often.
