Today she had 36 ml in 15-20 minutes. She eats well, I must say. I have this feeling that she might be a morning person – like me. At least I hope so. She seems very a wake in the morning and in the afternoon and evening, she sleeps through all the noises and movements.
She still cries when we wash her. She doesn’t like that at all. But she enjoyed the whole bath yesterday.

I add a picture from yesterday’s great session again since our camera still doesn’t work.

Neil had charmed his way to get a replacement camera. I hope he will get that soon. I don’t know anyone but Neil who can chat with people in that way. Imagine that he get a replacement camera from the shop for free while ours is being fixed. I have never heard anything like it.
Her eyebrows are beginning to show and she now has small nipples. It’s just a little pink dot, but it must be nipples on their way.
I felt like a thief doing a runner when I tried to take her out of her room. It is first time for me to be on my own with her and without monitoring. When I sat with her, she tried to pull out her feeding tube 2 times and the third time it succeeded her. I was so surprised that she could do it so quickly. It only took her 2 seconds to win me and get the whole tube out. She defiantly knew what she was doing. She has will power. So since she was without the tube and I have learnt to disconnect the oxygen monitor myself, I tried to take her out on the hall. I wrapped her in her duvet and held her close to my breast so she would not feel the strong light too much or be scared. I took her to my room for just 10 minutes. Of course it was not dangerous for her in any way. We also take her of the monitor when we change her nappy. But still I had this feeling that some nurse would come running and ask me to put her back. I look forward for the day when I really understand that she is mine for keeps!
