Evia is now getting 40 ml of milk every three hours. Going forward, they will increase the amount of milk she gets based on her size. She now weighs 4 lb 4 oz. That's 1 oz less than her birth weight. She is improving in regulating her own body temperature. She still needs the incubator, but hopefully only for a couple more days. It will be much easier to hold her when we don't have to deal with the box. She hasn't moved to her own room. We're just waiting for other babies to go home. She hasn't started trying to take milk from a bottle yet. She will suck on a pacifier some but can't do this for very long. Apparently, the ability to suck, swallow, and breath can be complicated to master. She'll figure it out though. I love it when her eyes are open.
She's practicing with the pacifier to get ready to bottle feed.

Hi, It's Megan (Nevius) Peeples. I love the picture of her sleeping with her hands behind her head!!! Sienna used to do that all the time when she slept...we called it "sunnin' at the beach!" Glad to hear she's doing well!!! Can't wait to hear that you get to take her home!
Not that you have time now, but in the future, we have a blog too...peeples.wordpress.com
