So today Annie was doing well. We talked to another one of the docs, Dr. McIntyre. She decreased Annie on the CPAP down to 6 and said that they might take her off of it by Thursday!! Wow! Then we could see her pretty face ALL the time! She said that Annie is doing a "great job" and she believes that they will be able to wean her off this week. (Keep praying!)
We had a little bit of Mommy and me snuggle and cuddle time and kangaroo'd for about 25 minutes or so today and Daddy will be coming back this evening to cuddle with her. This will finally, hopefully be our first day to have the 2 a days!
After we cuddled, we changed her diaper and when cleaning her up Annie started tinkling everywhere which made Mommy start laughing! When she stopped, she passed gas, which made Mommy laugh even harder. Ruth, our nurse, came back and asked what she was doing...to which she replied, "OH, Angelina, that is not very lady-like!" It was such a joy. How many mommy's are THIS proud of their baby's first sprinkle and toot? :)
Her temperature had done really well and was at 98.4 after cuddling.
Annie does have a little swelling (fluid retention) in her right leg/calf, but they do not see it as something to worry about. They expect it to absorb on it's own. If they think it will become a problem they will give her some medicine to clear it up.
Please keep praying for Angelina!
