Late Monday Morning Review
Sorry this is so late of an update....things were a little haywire yesterday.
She received some blood yesterday, her oxygen needs were up, her spit ups were more frequent, and overall she was a little lethargic. Not what we want, so they did some blood work and decided that she needed some.
She perked right up and took 30 cc's out of a bottle in 22 minutes. She is getting the hang of the bottle quite well!!! Her oxygen needs are down some, but not down too much. It should improve a little bit today. She may be retaining some fluid right now with the added blood so once we clear that out, we could be okay.
The bottle, let me tell you, when she is hungry, bottle goes down fast. She is understanding that the bottle can cure hunger. That is great.
Another wonderful neurological development step is the fact that she can focus on her parents face. She stares for longer periods at our faces, placing them in her memory bank.
Sunday, she took a look at her daddy's chin, some facial hair was sitting there.
"What is that?" she thought to herself, "I must feel it!"
A hand was brought up so tenderly to the chin, and the prickly hairs tickled her hand so much that she shook it. But that tickle had some delightfulness to it.
"I must feel it again!" she thought as she raised her hand to the tickle stuff. Again, it tickled so much that she had to shake it. With her eyes wider than every before, she caresses the tickle stuff again and again, shaking her hands with delight a full nine times. She was loving it, she had fun with it.
All smiles were on her face after that, she had found the tickle stuff to be quite a happy time.
Ah yes, probably will be etched into my mind forever that moment. Her mother and I laughed at every time she put her hand to the chin. She did every one of them on purpose. It was very good development.
And a good fun memory to keep in there.
Oh yeah 3lbs 13 ozs.
