I got to hold my sweet baby girl for the first time today. Aside from her birth, it was the best moment of my life. I cannot truly describe how wonderful it was (and since I'm very tired, I'm not going to attempt to try right now).
Aerin is doing well. She did not get a transfusion today. Her hematocrit was borderline, so the doctor wants to give her a chance to resolve the anemia by herself. She's back on the Vapotherm. I'm glad about that - I didn't think she was ready to be on a regular cannula. Her feedings are now up to 17 cc's!
She was moved from NICU A to NICU B. They just needed to even up the unit and they chose to move Aerin because she is the most stable baby in NICU A.

Your daughter is beautiful and seems to be quite the little fighter. "Most stable baby" moves are amazing feelings. :) Her progress is amazing.
I love the "most stable baby" comment! It's great to hear how well she's doing.
