Claire has taken yet another step forward this morning. When mom got in for the morning visit the nurse let her know that Claire no longer needed the oxygen lead. This lead read how much oxygen Claire was getting with each breath. She has been very consistent so they decided it no longer needed to be monitored.
She also took another full bottle at her 8am feeding. She was zonked out when mom arrived for her 11am feeding so we decided to see if she would latch on but mom didn't push it. Instead she 'kangarooed' with Claire. This is where a parent is sans shirt and the babe is snuggled up on the parent's chest with a warm blanket(s) covering their back. Very nice bonding time, she was all snuggled up against me and out like a light. She sleeps like her dad with her mouth open at times (but she doesn't snore like her dad - yet...).
We're heading back for the 5pm feeding and hope to spend some good quality time with her this evening.
