We passed with flying colors

I called first thing this morning to check and see if Charli passed her crib test and she did! I just couldn't wait until we got there to find out. Her temp checks were all good and she passed both of her glucose tests. So what that means is she stays in the crib and no more heel pricks! Yay! We are so proud our little girl is moving right along.



Apparently they tried to take her off her oxygen last night and she did pretty good for a while but her stats started dropping this morning so they put her back on a different kind. I'm not really sure I understand it but its low flow room air with only a half liter of oxygen. This is the last step before completely coming off, which they keep saying will be any time now. I just can't wait until that happens. I know she is tired of that thing being in her little nose. :-/

We also tried bottle feeding again today. I know its very hard for her with the tube in her mouth but they encourage us to keep trying. Sometimes she is interested and sometimes she isn't. Today was one of the days that she wasn't. And that's ok because she is all tuckered out from learning to keep herself warm. She did pretty good sucking on it but didn't get any of it down. It's a process and we just have to give her time, she is learning so much these days we can't expect it to all come at once! But it is nice to get to hold her and try the bottle feedings.



One of the perks of the new crib is that we can hold her pretty much anytime we are there and want to. Its so wonderful knowing I can snuggle with my sweet baby girl! And now me and dad don't have to take turns, we can both hold her in the same day!




In other news, Reagan is really enjoying all her goodies from the hospital!
