On the move

Abby made a big move today, down the hall to a different NICU. It doesn't mean she's reached any big milestone; in fact, we've known this could happen for a while now.

She's still in isolation, which means she has a nice big room to herself and we have more comfort and privacy, including a private bathroom. The room also comes with TV and DVD/VHS player, so we can even have some entertainment now.

We gave Abby her bath tonight, and she loved it. She was awake and happy for more than an hour with us, so it was a good evening. She's back up around 3 pounds 11 ounces, so the doctors are quite happy with her growth of late.

We've also begun the process to get Abby ready for regular feedings that don't involve the tube to her stomach. So far, so good, but it might be a few weeks before she actually takes a bottle for her nutrition.
