NICU, day 19

really short update tonight.
Today i was feeling really great, i felt good yesterday but wanted to give it an extra 24hrs before i went in to see Avery. Tonight was AMAZING!! I got to do kangaroo care with Avery, skin to skin holding is the best and she LOVES it. She really really thrives when she gets held that way. Her skin color looks better, her breathing is better and she is completely relaxed. Avery is 1310grams (1361grams is 3lbs) just to give you an idea. Today she only had 2 de-sats all day, and both times she was able to bring her oxygen levels back up with no help. The nurses are really impressed with her and how well she is doing. Did i mention that she was so relaxed while i held her that she pooped!! LOL. There is really nothing else new with her! Tomorrow i will put up some pictures of her from tonight, some are cute and some are funny!
