Day 8

Aerin had a good night and a good morning. She' s had 3 feedings so far and tolerated them well. That is to say she digested the milk without any problems. She gets 3 cc's every 6 hours. That's less than 1 tablespoon. This is a big milestone and we're extremely happy.

Her oxygen was in the high 40s during the nights and in the 30s this morning. It was in the 50s yesterday, so that's an improvement.

She sucked on a binky today! This is another first. I have mixed feelings about binkies for full-term babies and I hate to see them being used by a toddler over the age of 2, but I'm thrilled that Aerin can get some comfort and that she can suck.

Her nurse today is Karen, who I don't think I've met.
