Firsts

This afternoon's visit with Maggie was really fun and full of firsts for us. Jeff got to take her temperature and change her diaper! Maggie is no longer under the lights, so she gets to wear clothes. We brought her a few new preemie outfits and we dressed her up. I got to hold Maggie during her feeding, another first. She was just a sweet as could be. She was pretty alert during our visit, which was really cool. She just seems so content.

We talked to the doctors and nurses and have the following to report. Maggie's weight is up, her feedings are increasing to 19 ml every 3 hours, all of her vitals are stable, and the results of the ultrasound were normal. She just continues to do well as she can. We're so proud of her!

We'll keep up this routine for the next few weeks until she starts to show signs/interest in nursing (this typically happens around 35 weeks gestation, she is 32 weeks 2 days today). At that time, I'm sure we'll be spending more time at the hospital.
