On Thursday, Alice will be 4 weeks old.
4 weeks! We've been parents for an entire month. Crazy.
She has been moved to the NICU 2 and now weighs 3 pounds and 7 ounces. She is completely off her oxygen and seems to be adjusting well! She is maintaining her own body temp which means she can wear the tiniest little outfits I've ever seen. :) They will start assessing her at feedings to see how alert she is because the next step is bottle feeding. After bottle feeding is coming home!
She can't come home until after this weekend - this weekend we take our infant care class. If she comes home before this weekend we won't know how to bathe her! ;)
She's doing so great! And we're so thankful for the prayers. I seem to be doing much better as well and now I get to see all my specialists all over again.
I saw the Rheumatologist this week for my check up and he ordered some blood tests to try to figure out what's going on. 9 vials of blood! I counted. 9! I'm thankful I have a full week to recover before I see the Hematologist; she'll probably want her own blood. Yeesh. ;)
Until next time.....
