Myanna 4/15-4/18
4/16 - In mommy's arms, at last
4/16 - We got to hold her tonight, she's so tiny!!! She's wearing a hat her grandma made. The pacifier is half the size of her little face!
4/17 - Today our little angel is under the lights for jaundice. We can only look at her now. They have upped her feedings from 4cc to 8 cc, but we are not sure if it's going to stay down. She is still on an iv.
She ate 8cc every 3 hours today, yeah! She is now our little blue smurf! She has little shades velcroed to her temples to protect her eyes. She is now eating out of a bottle, no more tube feeding!
4/18 - Today Myanna is eating a whopping 15cc per feeding. She is loving the extra amount of food! She is still under the lights so we have no new photos, since she is all blue. She pulled her iv out again and now it is in the top of her head. It looks painful but they say it isn't and that she won't be able to grab it now at least. She is very irritable today, not quite the happy camper. They did hear a heart murmur and we will have results of the echocardiogram ultrasound tomorrow. She lost some more weight and now is only 3 pounds, we need to start going up soon!

Friday 4/15
4/15 - our first view of our precious baby
These are some of the first photos of our little Myanna! She started eating today, mostly through a tube but once with a bottle. She eats whopping 4 cc"s, she is still hooked up to an IV. She is now 3 pounds and 1 ounces and 16 inches long, she lost 4 ounces. She's in the incubator to keep her temperature up, but the heat is not on anymore. She is sleeping a lot which is also a great sign.
The tube in her mouth is to help with feeding her.
