What a sweet face

Not that we're partial or anything...but what a sweet face! Today Emmy came off the Bili lights so the little velcro tabs that held on her "sunglasses" while she was under the lights are gone, too! Now you can see all of her face.

Dr. Brawley said that he hopes to take out her PICC line soon, and then she will be free from everything but the little external monitors. Yay!

They doubled her feedings again today to 20 ccs. She'd had her first "big" feeding at Noon, so at 3 p.m. when we went in to feed her, she wasn't quite as ravenous as she has been and it was hard to get her to wake up and eat. We think her belly was still pretty full. Not surprisingly, she did manage to finish most of it finally.

A couple more photos are up in Picasa, but I had to finish with one of "Big Sister" Rags. Charles put together the bouncer today while we were organizing things in the nursery, and Rags promptly climbed up and went to sleep. Here she is posing for the camera.
