big girl bed!

Mike and I got a great surprise on Sunday when we went to visit Natalie---she's in a big girl bed! Well, by big girl I mean 4 lbs. Ha! She has kept her temperature up on her own for almost a week and is now over 4 pounds so they decided to move her to an open crib instead of the isolette that kept her warm her first two weeks.


Lookie here!




She likes it very much and doesn't even mind the yippy nurses talking about their bratty kids, ski trips, how much they need a Starbucks or what they bought on their lunch break. See? Zonked.





I'm kidding (kind of). Most all of the nurses have been SUPER nice. On Sunday the nurse increased her oxygen flow a bit to give her a break and see if it would help the bradys (when her heart rate drops). She hasn't been having more, but does keep having them. And no apnea problems at all which is very good. It's hard for me to hear about but I KNOW she WILL grow out of these little problems in just a few weeks.

Then when I came up later Sunday night to bring her more milk (oh, boy, she eats a LOT) they had taken her extra blanket and hat off. She was doing great in her new bed!

My sweet snoozer!

  2. Oh my unbelievable goodness. I almost squealed at work when I saw the pic of her sleeping on her belly with the hat on.
    And THEN you had to go and post the last one, of her with her hand up by her face and oh my god, Leah. Smush x 10.

  3. Woo Hoo!! She seems to be growing by leaps and bounds. I know how hard it is to have a baby in NICU, but by the way she is improving it seems like she will be home with you guys in no time.
