Autumn's first official Mother's Day. Evia was put into an incubator box today. I never felt like I got a great explanation for this, but it is supposed to be an improvement over the open table with the heat lamp. Something about it providing a better environment for her to regulate her own body temperature for more of the time and provide a very controlled environment. I'm thinking that it sounds like it would have been a good idea from the start, but what do I know? Anyway, she had a little T-shirt on today, and they told us to bring up some little outfits to put her in. Brenda brought us some preemie stuff from Meredith and Haley, which is so appreciated. Autumn will take some of those to the hospital tomorrow. Here's Autumn reaching in and greeting Evia as we arrived.
We also got to hold her again today. Notice the swanky yellow lab coat thing. I seriously could have Hulk Hoganed that thing into 20 shredded pieces, but didn't want to scare the nurses with my beastliness. It seems like the random rules in the NICU change all the time, as we have held her several times before without the coat on. Daddy even changed a dirty diaper (like a pro, I might add). Autumn is having a great Mother's Day. Milk intake is up to 20 ml per serving and she gained another 15 grams. She's back up to 3 lb, 14 oz now. Keep going girl.
