Here is Emma sleeping like an angel. The thing resting on her head is sorta like a doll/blanket called a snoedel. It is given to all parents of baby's in the NICU. You sleep with it for a night or two so it smells like you, and then the baby gets it. So far today, Emma has been pretty tired. She didn't wake up this morning for her feeding so she had to be fed through her tube. This is one of the frustrating things about preemies. They might be able to feed, but they don't always have the stamina to take 8 feedings a day by mouth (and grow, keep warm etc). The good news is that Emma is growing! Last night she weighed in at 5 lb 9.6 oz. That is 0.6oz more than she weighed at birth! Dan and I love to go to the weigh-ins. We are so blessed that Emma is doing so well. I could stare at her for hours!
