Emily Update 4/4/09

Emily Marie is doing great today. She weighs 3 lbs and almost 2 1/2 oz. She is doing great on the nose canela, she is still on it for three hours every 12 hour shift. She is getting a little tired towards the end of the three hours but still showing great improvement.She had her eyes opened most of my visit. This was the first time she has really had them opened up long enough for me to really look at them. But I can't tell what color they are going to be. They are still immature so have a dark blue look to them. But all babies are born with blue eyes and could change colors up til her first birthday. Today was Easter in the NICU. Emily had her first visit with the Easter Bunny. She really didn't have much interest in him, she felt it was time for all the activities to stop so she could just nap. Her vocal cords are starting to mature, she is starting to voice her opinion by fussing at people when they get in with her. Thanks for reading and please keep us in your prayers.
