Ella is really doing great now. She’s off of the Photo Therapy (lights that help reduce Jaundice) and into some nice comfortable PJs and swaddling blankets. She’s much happier now and is starting to fall right into the classic 3 hour infant schedule (sleep, eat, play). I got to hold her and feed her with a bottle today which was really neat. Brittany was right when she said that she will fall asleep half way through feedings and not wake up. She got about half way through her bottle and was fast asleep. I tried tickling her feet, burping her, rubbing her back, all the classics to no avail. She was resting comfortably and that was the end of it. If she wasn’t hooked up to a million lines, it may have been easier to wake her, but she could use the rest anyway. The nurse came in and fed the remainder through her feeding line.

 Although I don’t know for sure, I think we only have a few more days until she’s able to go home.
