They only do it for babies in the ICN, or maybe only the preemies. It's because preemies often have troubles with their respitory system, and they've also spent so much time on their backs that they want to make sure they can continue to breathe sitting up. At least that's my understanding!

We chose not to do the test again today. She ended up getting her Hep B shot today, and then seemed to be having an "off" day. So the nurse and I thought why bother and stress her out with another test - so we'll try tomorrow.


But ... she did get her first "real" bath since her cord feel off finally! Paul got a bunch of pics - she seems to love bath time!

Oh, and guess who had some visitors today! Paul and I got to have dinner with Tammy, Steve, and little Jackson! It was nice to see Tammy and Jack again (this time not in a hospital bed!), and to meet Steve. Then Tammy and Steve got to come visit Gwen. I totally forgot to take a picture of Tammy with Gwen, but I got one of Steve.

OMG! Jackson might be the cutest thing ever! I'm so glad you guys got to have a nice evening out with friends and that Gwen is doing so well! I bet Paul is having a great first Father's Day!

Oh goodness! Just catching up. The hungry catapillar is my favorite book ever!!! The pics of Paul reading to her are so cute. Here's hoping the Gwen passes her test! She just gets cuter every day!

Ann those pics of her in the bath are sooo cute. And Paul doing her hair, wow I love it, that is just too sweet for words. I am so glad she is doing so well and I can't wait till they tell you you can take her home.

 

As for Jackson, OMG is he ever cute!!! Tammy you should put him in commercials or ads or something, he is just so beautiful.

Happy Father's Day to Paul!!!

That's so wonderful that you guys got to go out to dinner with Tammy & Steve! They seem like such wonderful people. i"m sure it was nice to see "familiar" faces while out there.

Gwen's bath looks SO cute! her little face just makes me smile. And that picture of Paul combing her hair is just precious!

[jajajaja]

Oh bath time is just precious. I LOVE the one of her all bundled up in the towel. Adorable. You guys must be having so much fun being a mommy and daddy. She is just too cute.
