7a.m.

Well, Adam and I had both planned to be off from work today so we could be with Aubrey for her move, but now we're both at work.  I'm a planner, and this changing stuff is throwing me off.  I guess, though, that the whole having a baby 16 weeks early should have cured me of the need to plan.

Aubrey had an ok night--she did have one episode (not one of the "bad" ones where she has to be bagged).  The nurse said she also spit up several times.  She gagged a couple of times yesterday but hasn't actually spit up in a while.  This just reinforces the need for the surgery on Tuesday.  She weighs 6lb 1oz.

Aubrey's morning re-reinforced the need for this surgery.  She had two episodes this morning, one of them a pretty bad one. But then I was there for a couple of hours around lunch time, and she did fine the whole time.  I'll be back later so I can be there when Adam swings by after work...hopefully this morning she was just tired and this will be the end of the episodes for a while.

Aubrey had a good afternoon and evening--no more episodes after the ones this morning.  She stayed awake with me for a while this afternoon while I read "Yellow Submarine" to her...but then she fell asleep about halfway through. :)  At one point, her oxygen sats dropped into the 60s and I saw her gag and get all red-faced.  The gagging means reflux is coming up, and the red face means she's either filling up a diaper or has gas.  Well, she got the reflux back down and then our noses told us that she filled her diaper. She tends to hold her breath when she does that.  They upped her feeding amount a little this afternoon.  The nurse went and got all of my extra breast milk that was in the freezer so I could bring it home since they wouldn't need it there anymore.  Just what I needed--MORE milk in my freezer. I barely had a spot to squeeze it all into.

I was told today that we probably won't know what time they are going to transport her to MCG Sunday until Sunday morning.  We had to say good-bye to more of our wonderful nurses tonight.  Sunday is going to be tough!

she was awake while I read at first...

...then she got sleepy.
