Gimme my baby...bb..baby...bbb..baby breast milk

Daisy continues her upward trend... She is eating nicely and sleeping good periods in between feedings (likely helped by a couple of meds she is taking).  She got rid of her feeding tube a couple of days back but I forgot to mention that (doh!).  She had a great night and has spend a leisurely Sunday morning sleeping in.  She has been eating quite well at 70-120ml per feeding (2.3-4 ounces for those of us in the US and outside of a hospital room).  That is on top of 20 ml of meds.  She is the quietest most patient baby in our NICU 4-plex.  She is still hanging out at or within a couple percent of ambient oxygen levels and this is where we will need to hang out for a little as she gets a little stronger.  We discontinued her H2 blocker this morning (Prilosec that was left over from ventilation days).

I am enjoying playing with her, feeding her, and watching her sleep.  She does not seem to mind my terrible singing and limited selection of memorized books.
