Myla had a pretty big day for such a little girl. It started out with the yanking of her IV and central line - yeah! She is totally on mama's milk now - okay, so its specially fortified milk with extra calories, but its milk! She should be up to 20 milliliters at her early morning feeding on Sunday. Then (finally, he would say) Myla was held close by her daddy for a whole hour. She did just as great with dad as she does with mom. Tonight, Myla got her first bath since her birthday. Mom would have gotten pictures, but she was trusted with holding the oxygen mask to her face while her little head was washed. Then she was bundled up and sat with mom for another hour. And while there, she started sucking on a pacifier. Actually sucking! Its so tiny and so cute. She's the nurses favorite, I think. They all want her to do well and she is having no problems impressing them. Tonight, she is going to sleep in a clean and new glass condo and rest up so tomorrow she can do more impressive things.
