No news is good news...
Not much new to report around here :)
Emma now weighs in at a whopping 2lbs 12oz. Whoo Hoo!! Maybe she'll break the 3 pound barrier next week!
She had another eye exam to monitor for ROP (retinopathy of prematurity) today. She didn't like getting the eye drops beforehand (who does?), nor the actual exam, and promptly had a "spell" in protest. Emma also barfed up some of her feed afterwards (which is very unusual for her), but her nurse decided it was simply because she was righteously annoyed and so wasn't too worried by it. While there was no significant evidence of ROP on today's exam, we've been told it can progress very rapidly and so the neonatal ophthalmologist will see Emma again next week.
Otherwise, apart from a few big desats today, Emma is doing well...

I love the fact that Emma is so fiesty and knows her own heart and mind already - and isn't afraid to express herself either.
I truly can't wait to meet this girl after my own heart!!
Emma,
Mommy is right...no news is good news!!! I am glad to hear that you are regaining your "wild woman" reputation and regaining your fiestyness! Kepp up all you hard work!
