Sorry that we haven't gotten anything posted until now, it has been a busy day for the Gramkows. No worries though, Ellie has been very stable. When I held her today she didn't have any bradies or desats and she tolerated her feedings well.
As you can see she is still very cute. She looks absolutely stunning in her new outfits. I'm very proud of how well she's been breathing and eating today. (although she did drop 10 grams to put her at 1490 g ... still 3 lbs 5 oz). I'm also proud of how well she is sucking on her pacifier. During her 5 o'clock and 8 o'clock feedings she was sucking on her pacy so hard that you could hear her sucking sounds and see that pacy moving in and out. Good job girl! Babies don't usually start bottle feeding before 34 weeks and the nurses won't even consider bottle feeding before 32 weeks. But Miss Ellie is not even at 31 weeks and she is already figuring out how to suck on her pacifier. Our nurse was also impressed that she was sucking so much on her pacifier without having any breathing problems. Typically it takes babies a while to figure out how to coordinate the suck, swallow and breath mechanisms all together.
