Aubrey is 3 weeks old today! She weighs 1lb 11 oz, and is up to 10 ml of food per meal. Her siPAP machine is down to 8 per minute from 12, oxygen level between 23% and 24%. She is acting her age.
Keli will get to hold her today. She is wearing a large shirt so Aubrey can be stuffed in. Can't wait.

I got to have my little sweet pea all snuggled up against me today! I didn't really think about it and asked if I should put gloves on (I'm just used to doing that when I go into her condo to change her diaper or something), and the nurse said, "um, she's going to be on your chest, so I don't think gloves matter too much." Oh. Yeah. Right. :) So, she got Aubrey all untangled from her cords and slid her under my shirt with her little noggin poking out of the top. She got so comfortable that she went to sleep and had one of her little episodes where she forgets to breathe. Oops. I was so comfortable that I could have taken a nap too, but I didn't want to miss a second of holding her so close and looking at her.
Now that she opens her eyes and peeps around so much, it makes it even harder to leave her. When I'm telling her goodnight and she's staring at me like she can see exactly who I am and what I'm doing I have the worst time walking away from her condo. I have to wait until she shuts her eyes and I throw the blanket down and run out. I hate feeling like I'm abandoning her, even though I know that's not really the case. I can't wait to have her home.
