Hanging steady at over 5 pounds:
Parents visited separately today. Dad came first, in the morning after church. He found me sound asleep as usual, getting my 8:30 feeding through my tube:
However, when I started crying that woke me up. Dad changed my diaper (it was wet) which made me feel better even though I still gave him my customary skeptical look.
Since I was being a bit fussy, the nurses suggested he take me out and hold me and I did - had visited with Mom last time I was awake so it was nice to have a chance to visit with Dad when my eyes were open for once!
Okay, so they weren't open the whole time, but they were for awhile before I fell asleep:
I woke up again briefly when he put me back in my crib so I could say goodbye, then passed out again.
Mom came by later in the day, and in what can only be described as some sort of miracle, I was awake AGAIN - that's right,
TWICE in one day! Moreover, I had been doing well on my breathing so they took out my nasal cannula (which I was pretty happy about - those tubes in my nose were getting annoying!)
I was a little sleepy but since Mom was there I took the opportunity to try out some new expressions I'd been working on.
Then I asked her what she thought.
She said they were cute but that I looked cold and should wear my hat. Sheesh! Moms, right? But I let her put it on to humor her.
We had a good little visit there so it was a nice day getting to see both my parents.
