Mornin mornin!!
Bree is off her CPAP!! She switched off of it yesterday morning right before I showed up for the day. I got to hold her for a good two hours, and it seemed as if she had the best nap she has had while layin on me. The nurses had gotten me set up in a giant lay-z-boy chair, so I was all laid back and comfy with Bree on my chest. Once she had settled down and was completely zonked out and not moving, I broke out "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" to reread. I think I got through 150 pages or so before I had to leave for the day because of a previously made engagement.
She is up to 16 cc's of breastmilk as of this morning...and doing great with it! A full feeding for her is 20 cc's and that is based upon her weight right now. So, as she grows she will get more breastmilk, and soon (hopefully) they will start to let her try the bottle. Exciting stuff!
She is on 30-35% oxygen with her nasal cannula...which I am so glad that she is on the nasal cannula. Adam got the day off of work for finding a 'golden tool' (It's a gold piece of paper with a drawing of a tool on it and if you find it you get a day off). I am really hoping that he'll get to hold her because it has been almost a month since he held her. She has grown a lot since then! Hopefully I'll get some good pictures to share with all of you tomorrow!
Hope this finds you happy, healthy and in love with life!

I am so happy for you guys. Go Bree! :) Bree the bee.. she keeps buzzing along.
Glad to hear she is doing so wonderfully! Leaps and bounds is barely a bee, maybe you need to nickname her jaguar or something instead! :)
she definitely sounds as though she has Tigger's bounce. God's Blessings and Prayers from Maggie. Qld. Australia.
