Movin' on up!

Myla had a very exciting day. After mom came to visit her in the morning, the nurses packed her up and moved her on down the nursery. Instead of being right in front of the nurses station now, she is towards the back, where it is a little more quiet. But, this is a great location and a sign that she is growing and stabilizing a little bit to where they feel comfortable putting her further away. Her oxygen flow was also turned down to 2 from 3, which means that its not coming as fast up her little nose. As the nurse explained to us, an adult would get oxygen coming at them at about 6-10, so turning her down is a huge deal. And she got really comfortable on dad tonight and practically drooled on his chest. He liked it too.

Mom got to talk to another mom in the NICU tonight. Her baby was born at 27 weeks as well, and he is now up to almost 5 pounds. It was good to talk to her, and learn some things that might be coming up. Of course, all babies are different, but to talk to her and see her perspective was good. Things you never thought about, you know? She will be taking her baby home in a few weeks, and I am sure that she will be a great mom.
