The nurse just gave Ellie her two o'clock feeding. She said Ellie didn't have any significant amount of residual or gas in her stomach. Good job Ellie for handling the new 8 mL feeding so well!
The nurse also said now that she's 30 weeks (gestational age) her Apnea alarm will be set to trigger after 15 seconds instead of 10 seconds. That means the nurse won't be notified for episodes lasting less than 15 seconds. That's just one more step to being weaned off of breathing support.
She has also started smiling now, as you can kind of see in the picture. Of course she's not cooperating with the camera. A sure way to keep her from doing anything cute is to go grab the camera. And also today she spit up for the first time! Why do I find that exciting? The nurses said that normally happens with the increased feedings.
