5 weeks!

Our little girl is 5 weeks old! And what a busy week it has been!

She is doing so well with her bottle feeding that they took out her feeding tube. So far, no need to put it back in. She also "graduated" out of the NICU to a special care nursery for babies who don't need as much monitoring. She is still hooked up to monitor her heart rate and breathing but nothing on her face! Look at this sweet little thing

Not great photos but you get the idea. In her new nursery, her "room" is three walls and a curtain you can shut out to a main hallway. Without a door to shut you can here all the nurse chatter, moms and dads cooing to their babies and all the crying fits. On Thursday she was trying to fall asleep while I held her and two babies kept crying. Natalie would open one eye, arch her eyebrow and make a "really, mom? what's up with these babies?" face. I just had to kiss her and remind her she'd be home so soon!
