Crib

Cate is now in a crib! Another milestone. The doc came in and decided that he thought she was ready. She's at 1760 grams (3 lb 13 oz). He said he wants to see her at 1900 grams before he sends her home. Of course, this is what he says. Another doctor could make a different decision. So it could be a couple days, or it could be a week or more. Who knows... I hope we are able to have the house ready before she comes home. Dad just recoated the wood floors, so we would like to have a little time for that to air out. They said we'll be able to use the "transition room" before we go home. I guess it's a room that we can "practice" what it will be like at home. They took her O2 monitor off today, so we just have to watch her closely to make sure her oxygen doesn't drop too low. It's hard to tell without the beeping. The tell us to watch for her lips to turn blue. This usually only happens during feeds. The dr also said that if she doesn't keep her weight/temp up she would go back in the isolette for at least 48 hours. I'll let you know how she's doing tomorrow... Thanks for all your positive comments!
