Day 11

Aerin's umbilical stump fell off yesterday. We're not sure if she's an innie or an outie because of the umbilical lines.

She's tolerating the biliblanket fairly well. She's a bit more squirmy than usual, but that is partly because she's not in a snuggli. She is incredibly strong - she pushes herself up with her arms and arches her back so that she almost rolls over. It's really astounding, even the nurses are amazed.

Her feedings were increased again. She's up to 5 cc's every 3 hours. She gained another 1/3 of an ounce, which brings her up to 1 pound, 13.66 ounces.

Good for her! I swear, I felt my daughter doing that in the womb, and she had a knack for hitting the most painful spots... Thank goodness for small mercies, huh? At least you're spared that, and how cool is it to be able to watch her do it?

I'm so glad she's gaining well. We're praying and pulling for all three of you. She is the most beautiful baby her age I have ever seen!
