Well today Carly was put back on CPAP. Well last weekend she was on Bubble CPAP and this time today she was put on regular CPAP. Today she only lasted a couple of hours before having to have the vent put back in. But bless her little heart.......she tried! While she was still on CPAP and having problems with her heart rate ( tons of brady's and desats) I got to hold her with my hand supporting her head and neck and my other hand supporting her bottom and legs and had her facing me. It was the first time I was able to hold her that way and really get to look at her face. I couldn't help but cry. Not only because I finally got to hold my baby the way I've been wanting to but also because she was so tired and struggling to breath and you could see it in her face. Thank GOD they got the vent back in so she could relax! Maybe next time she'll be ready!

My friend Bre and I went to Target today to pick up severel things to start scrapbooking today. There is a class the 1st Friday of every month at the hospital for mothers in the NICU to do scrapbooking together. So we start this Friday. I think we will really enjoy this! I'm so excited.

Oh Carly also had her 3rd eye exam today to check for ROP. So I should get the results in a day or so. But the last 2 exams showed no signs of ROP. I think her having the eye exam today only 2 hours before going to CPAP could also be a reason she didn't last too long off the vent. (she was ALREADY tired before going on CPAP!)

Oh yeah and she wieghs 1pound 8ounces (1.5 pounds) today! YAY Carly!

here's pics of her on her CPAP!




and here is her lifting her weights! She's actually trying to drop it1 I rolled up a TINY piece of a baby washcloth to put in her hands because she keeps them clenched so tight together. As soon as I gave them to her she started opening her hands! LOL (oh and she only looks darker in the pic because of the lighting!)
