I am so glas she is doing so well.

THanks girls

Today was agood day. She's still on CPAP but all day she's been saturating in the low-high 90's at 31%!!! So she defintetely needed a break. We had her out for a 15 minute cuddle and she did very well.. She was on the nasal prongs too for the cuddle. Everytime she was handled she didn't desat. The only time she went below 90 was when she was pooping LOL. So we will do a longer cuddle tomorrow on prongs again and then probably have her nuzzle my nipple while she feeds Her sucking refelx is very strong right now and it would be the best time to get her on it so they don't miss that "window of oppurtunity".
So she's doing very well. I know there's going to be bumps in the road for a long time. But it's still hard when you've been having such a good couple of weeks and then something like that happens all of a sudden. It's hard when you're mom because then you feel guilty about it. But I know everything will be ok. I'm so proud of her she's so strong. So I will let u all know how the nuzzling goes tomorrow

I'm glad she's doing O.K. She's such a strong little girl! You should be really proud.

go angel go girl shes doing really well xxxxxxxx

That FANTASTIC news so happy for you, WellDone Angel x

so today we had an excellent cuddle!! I got to sit with her for almost 40 minutes before they ripped her away from me!!!
Also... She sucked on my nipple!!! She didn't suck for very long just a couple seconds then she started to get comfortable. But when I put it up to her mouth she started to suck. She knew what it was especially when I squirted some milk into her mouth
I think its totally awesome! And amazing that a baby that should still be in the womb knows already what the boob is and whats it for and what to do lol. So i'm soo excited to try again tomorrow! They will do it at every cuddle while she feeds so she can associate sucking on it with feeling full. She already seems ahead for her age so maybe she'll be breast feeding sooner. Which would be so fantastic.
Also she has now pulled out her OG tube 4 times! twice yesterday and twice this morning. So she's got it taped down on her chin lol and she has to wear mitts now. So she definitely needs the breast lol she's tired of that tube!
And this morning she managed to roll herself from her tummy onto her side. Shes just thriving. I couldnt be happier or more proud of my girl she just makes me feel so happy inside that I want to explode I so can't wait for whats to come!!! 2008 is going to be a great year

Thats sounds so fantastic hun!!! She's sounds like she'll be up and going in no time..

Here's to an exciting and healthy year for you
