Sweet relief

Good news: Annie had a bowel movement. It was aided by a suppository and was an "explosion" according to the nurse. She said it was a machonium (sp?) plug, so hopefully everything will flow smoothly from here on out. Annie, like most premies, is still learning to remember to breath. Today she forgot again and it looks like we probably won't be able to hold her again for a few days--just give her some time to settle down and grow a bit. She weighs in now at 2.13, that means she's gained a couple ounces. She is 15 in long (gained an inch). She still loves to put her hands up by her face and tonight she even did the "thinking man" pose which was...thoughtful. So, things are going pretty well. She is now up to 13 cc every three hours on her feedings. Mmmmmm, she loves that good milk stuff!
