Layla moved rooms today! She moved from her room in the NICU to a room in NIM (Neonatal Intermediate). It is a move in the right direction, however, it doesn't really mean that she suddenly made lots of progress. The reason for her move was because she lost her "partner" in her old room in the NICU. Her "partner" went home today and therefore would have left just her to take care of for a nurse when normally each nurse in the NICU has 2 patients. In NIM, each nurse has 3 patients and someone in NIM also went home today so it was a good day to switch her. Patients in NIM are in similar situations to her--mainly working on feedings and issues like that until they are ready to go home. Her new room is much noisier which is quite annoying, but I think more so for us than for her! Here is her new homestead...
Her first real outfit...
Look at that pout!!

Is there a baby in there??
She weighed in tonight at 1640, so she gained 50 grams! That means she's almost 3 lbs 10 oz. That seems like a lot to gain in one day so hopefully the nurse weighed her correctly. I guess we'll find out tomorrow night if she's suddenly back down to 3 lbs 8 oz! Her bili count was still low today too at 6.6 so she is still off the lights for right now. Thanks for checking in!
