Miss. Ellie had a great night last night - with the highlight being POOPING! Yep, at midnight's feeding the nurse had to use three diapers to contain that stuff. So sorry if this is too much information, but we were EXCITED!
Dawn, the occupational therapist, came in today to work on exercises with Ellie. She was impressed with Ellie's strength with her gestational age. She still likes to cock her head back! We figured out it was more to one side than the other - the side she prefers we figured out was facing where Ben and I sit most of the day with her. SO...her crib is now turned to work the other side of her neck muscles. They also gave us an exercise to work with her during her diaper change - talking to her close, holding her midline (with her arms in snug to her chest) and then just seeing how she can balance keeping her head straight.
Ben got to feed her at the noon feeding after Dawn was done doing exercising with Ellie. She was awake for the most part. She ate 8 mL. Pretty good for eating right after working out! :) Next on the agenda is BATH TIME!
She probably needs a bath considering she was holding on to several days of poo! Little stinker. :-)
