a 2 pound baby!

We officially have a 2 pound baby! Hooray! We're so excited she passed the 2 pound mark, she really is growing and has been very alert so far this morning. They have made a few changes, her CPAP is back up to 5 since she has been having some ups and downs with her oxygen saturation, but maybe she just needs a little more time at 5 to grow before going to down to 4. Basically it's just the pressure the machine uses to blow air in the make it easier for her to inflate her lungs. It's ok if she uses her energy now to grow rather than to breathe, so once she's a little bigger and stronger we know she'll need less pressure. They are also going to do an xray today just to check out that her lungs are growing and inflating as they should be. Her feedings went up just a little to 24mL/4 hours, since she is tolerating the breast milk so well.

Last night we finally got some laundry detergent with no dyes or fragrances and washed some of the preemie outfits we have for her. This pink ladybug outfit is so adorable and was a very special gift. Nurse Sara changed her outfit last night and got some cute pictures.



This blurry yawning action photo makes me laugh. And her hands look big and long!



Isn't she looking so different and grown up?





We're pretty sure her happiest moments of the day are the ones when we're holding her and when she gets her little breaks from the CPAP tubes in her nose. Though I can't guarantee that they are her favorites in that order.
