Tuesday Update

Well, today was a bit dissapointing and encouraging. We were told alot yesterday that it might be possible for Emery to join Blake and I in our room today. I was able to be present in the room when the neo-natologist checked her this morning and it quickly became clear that was not her plan. She is a sweet and quiet lady, but she reminded me several times that Emery is not supposed to even be here yet and it will take her some time to make up for that. They did begin feeding her this afternoon. She took a little formula in the early afternoon and then this evening Blake and I have been able to go in and me nurse a short time and Blake finish up with some formula. She has lost a minimal amount of weight so that is great. She is sleeping on a lighted pad to try and get rid of some jaundice, though that seems to be minimal.

Emery was wide awake this afternoon - She just stared at us! What a blessing to watch her turn her head from my face to Blake's face because she was recognizing the sound of our voices. She is precious. She sleeps all of the time. :) We are so thankful that she is doing so well...
