Today was a busy day!

Bob and I went in this morning to see Megan. Bob changed his first diaper :) He said that he was a little nervous at first because she is still small, but quickly felt comfortable. He did a great job! Bob then held Megan for about 2 hours! She did great the entire time and slept comfortably on her Daddy!

We went back at night so we could observe the nurse giving her a bath. We would like to start doing that as well. After watching the nurse give her a bath, we decided that we need to observe at least one more time :) She still needs to stay in the isolette for her sponge bath, so it's tought to do! The nurse said that in about a week or so she should be able to get her bath outside the isolette.

Megan was so adorable when her bath was all done. She was all clean and in a new outfit. She was wide awake and looking around. It was funny to see her hair sticking up all over the place.

She did gain some weight and is about 3 lbs 5.5 oz! She just keeps growing :) Some of that weight gain is due to some fluid retention. She went off the diuretic about a week ago or so. Now her kidneys are working on catching up to get rid of that extra fluid. Her pooping is going great and hasn't needed a suppository in about a week which is awesome!

She is slowly being weaned off the nasal cannula and then she will do all her breathing on her own!
