Baby Update

Meadow is still in the NICU, but she got moved to the feeder-grower nursery.  That's the one they go to before they let you take them home.  She had to be put on oxygen again so there are tubes up her nose, but she is keeping her levels up and seems to be more baby like.  She can move her head around and she has opened her eyes for me.  The nurses say she feels like we do when we have the flu so not to expect too much out of her.  It is crazy the things you kind of figure out being here.  I noticed I'm the only Mom hanging around, then I figured out they don't want me there unless I'm feeding her, which I only was allowed to start doing lastnight!  I was anxious because all my other babies got the boob minutes after being born, and Meadow has been being tube fed for her whole short life.  Anyway she took right to it like a pro and kept breathing at the same time!  I cried, not a big surprise.  That is one of the big steps before being release is being able to nurse.  So now we are looking for her infection levels to go down to a 2, they are at a 4.9.  Also she needs to get off the oxygen, but they can send me home with that.  She is a sweet little baby who totally fits her name.  Way to go Seb.  Sorry no pics I'm not on my own computer.  Also thank you for all of the love and support it has made things so much easier for us.  And I'm crying again...
