Hug your babies. Whatever you are doing, stop and hug your babies.
Remember me talking about the couple Melissa and Ben and their twins Jack and Emma? They're Aubrey's age and we were in both NICUs together. Jack went home the week after Aubrey, but we got news that Emma passed away early this morning. They were waiting to hear from St. Louis about a lung transplant for her, but it seems that it wasn't quick enough. My heart is absolutely breaking for that entire family. I just held Aubrey and cried when I found out earlier. I know there's nothing I can do or say that will make things better for them right now, but please keep them in your prayers.
Today is the only day this week Aubrey doesn't have an appointment, so I think I'm just going to snuggle her all day.

This whole getting-Aubrey-to-lie-on-the-other-side-of-her-head thing is really tough. She's such a wiggle worm that she gets her head turned back the way she wants it in no time. I've tried propping a little bean bag thingy behind her so she has trouble turning it back around, but that only works for so long. I'm scared to put anything around her because everyone says it's a no-no to put any kind of pillows or extra blankets in the bed with them. I just keep turning her whenever I can and hope that helps.
