Friday late night!

Emma has been doing very well with a few oxygen problems since yesterday. They have started her on a new cpap mask that we aren't exactly thrilled about, but the old one was starting to irritate her skin around her nose. 

So the good stuff, tonight we stop all fluids and she will begin full feeds!!! Yay much rejoicing she is a big girl now :-) 

I also feel much more like a dad! I got to hold her for two hours and she pooped on me! Welcome to parenthood :-)

All her other stats have been good and she is really starting to fill out more. Her little face is much more full and she has big eyes that love to look around. 

Doctors just came by to do rounds and we did ask about Allison's question: her next mike stone is full feeds then we need to get her off cpap all together. 
Her breathing has been at 26-30% with this new mask where she was stable at 21% which is room air, with the old mask. Hence why we aren't thrilled with this new one, but we are hoping in a few days she will be used to it and good. 

She will probably be on cpap for a few more weeks at this point then we can start hoping for a spot on the 8th floor aka feed and grow time. 

Thanks for all the love and support as our road is not over yet :-). Tomorrow also is one month since Eva passed so it is a bitter sweet moment for us. 

We are so happy for the blessings in our lives and our wonderful children that have taught us so much. Love you angel baby Eva and little sister Emma !
