Emerie now weighs 10 grams more than her birth weight!! She did not do well with her bottles overnight, but today finished all 3 bottles that Andy and I gave her. Hopefully she will continue the trend during the night tonight. She is not out of the isolet yet. It is on the lowest settings possible and she is maintaining her temperature, but since she wasn't doing very well with the bottles last night, they didn't want to place another stress on her by moving her out of the isolet today. If she continues to do well with her bottles overnight, she will move to a bassinet tomorrow.
It's still going to be a while, but we started the discharge planning today. This includes a class on "How to care for your baby." News flash...you should not leave your child unattended in the bathtub. I also got to watch two DVDs. I can't remember the names, but the theme of the first is "don't shake your baby" and the theme of the second is "put your baby on it's back to sleep." So now that we have receive the appropriate education on child care, we're one step closer to going home!!
Oliver accompanied me to my follow-up appointment at the OBs office today. The high was 70 degrees, but he insisted the hat was necessary. He was quite the hit with the nurses and scored Oreos and a lollipop.
