February 3

Pearl was down to 22% oxygen when I called the nurse this morning.  By  the time I got to the hospital at noon, she was at 26 and the Dr. wants to keep her there.  She had three spells but they were nothing out of the ordinary so I'm not sure why they don't want to try her on less right now.  She is a huge 2lbs. 8.5 oz.!  One of her nurses took some pictures of her because she wouldn't sleep the other night.  She wanted to stay up and party with them.  Every time they looked in at her, her eyes were open and they loved it.  She is still on 20 ml for her feeds. 

Malorie is at 3lbs. 8 oz. and is holding steady on everything else.  She is looking bigger every day.  Hopefully the CPAP will come off on Monday and she will be happier.  Today when I was holding her she got the hiccups.  She had them for probably 25 minutes and were very loud as her mouth was wide open.  It was a little bit of entertainment for the NICU. 

Little Pearl with her cute little vest on. They put a smaller nose prong in and she seemed happier today.

Miss Malorie with her cute flower shirt on.  They are all the rave now in the NICU.
