From CPAP to Canula

As of this morning our little girl weighed 3lbs and 10.6oz; she is growing at a furious pace.

Yesterday she was bumped down to 3cm of positive pressure on her CPAP, she was also increased on her caffeine levels and iron levels.  Her As and Bs seem to be falling off gradually which is fantastic.  We are really beginning to feel as though she is on the upward side of things now. 

She had another good day her in the Nicu.

This morning at rounds we were informed that they were going to get rid of the CPAP and move her to a nasal cannula.  As I am sitting here right now she is currently on her nasal cannula, satting like nothing changed.  We are hoping this change will last, as the nasal cannula is much less intrusive.  One of the huge advantages is that she doesn't have to wear her hat anymore so we can see her better.  Also, the tubing is much smaller and allows her to lay her head more naturally and will require much less maintenance.  This is a pretty exciting upgrade for us and her!


Nasal Cannula Upgrade! Booya!


CPAP more like Ccrap!

I think she likes the goatee


Her eyes were wide open, she was staring right at me

So wonderful to hear Ainsley is doing so well. Beautiful pictures, precious family. I think she's going to be a daddy's girl by the way she looks at you, Brandon ;-)

She's growing like crazy, I can see that in each new photo. Of course she's Brando's girl...just like her momma.
