New digs...

So our move to the new room turned out to be a more positive thing than I thought it would be. The room is really nice with a private bathroom, sleeper sofa, and Lila is now in a crib instead of the isolette, which looks much less medical to me. The other nice thing the room has is a door which really helps in keeping Brody in and keeping the other patients from hearing his screams. While the nurses aren't as constantly available as they were in the NICU, I did feel like they were taking good care of her today and were on top of everything going on with her.

The biggest news for today is that Lila finally pooped! We have been waiting for this because that is a good sign that her bowels are working. I have never been so happy to change a diaper! Lila is probably going to hate me for broadcasting this to everyone when she is older, but hopefully she'll realize what a milestone this is and forgive me. The other good news from today is that they did put Lila's NG tube to gravity (no suction on it) and she tolerated it well all day with no swelling in her belly, throwing up, or irritability. If she continues to do well overnight, they will probably take the tube out tomorrow morning. It will be so nice to see her face without any tubes - that will be the first time I get to (they dropped an OG tube in her before I first held her after she was born). If she tolerates no tube tomorrow, we can probably try to feed her the next day (Sunday) which I think will be an awesome Father's Day present for Tom.

Brody visited his Uncle Craig at baseball camp today (Craig coaches) and insisted on wearing a helmet around the entire time. He was mesmerized by the kids playing baseball. I think we might have a future ball player on our hands, as long as he is allowed to wear a helmet.
