A little bit of heaven...

So a big day for Anna. We had some one-on-one time and Grandpa was there to see the whole show. I was able to hold her for a full 45 minutes!! I have to admit, I'm guilty of not asking many questions about her weight, breathing etc. as I got to hold her pretty much immediately after arriving. I was too engulfed to think of anything else, but I am pretty sure Arthur mentioned that she had gained a few grams, I think she is up to something like 927 grams. They upped her sodium levels also as they were a bit low but that is nothing too concerning.

As for the rest, she is doing really well. We are lucky that it hasn't been too much of a roller coaster ride at this point, she is just slowly growing with not too many obstacles to overcome. So we can focus on her just growing and getting nice and healthy so she can be eventually transferred to a Level II hospital closer to home.

I had a really nice time holding her, it's almost like everything around me disappears when she's in my arms. I forget that we're surrounded by nurses, incubators and constant alarm beeps and for a few minutes it's just her and I. :) Hopefully Daddy will be able to hold her next time he's in...unfortunately he won't be able to visit her as often as we hoped since he had to go back to work and is really busy. But we'll try to work some sort of a schedule out so he can visit and get some very important and much needed bonding time in with her.

Here's a short video from today of the little munchkin napping with me:
