We started our day at 5:30 with Miss Ava Kate's first bath. It was definitely needed...her hair was so oily! I was expecting her to cry the whole time, but she actually seemed to like it. We bathed her in her bed under the nice, warm heat, so that helped!
Getting ready for her bath...
Washing her hair...I think this was her favorite part!
Chilling after bath time...
Look at that wild hair...
Hanging out under the warmer...
Swaddled and ready for the day...
We had another good feed at 6:00 am and didn't need a supplemental tube feeding. Yay! When we returned for the 9:00 feeding, Dr. Lightburn was assessing Ava and gave us the most exciting news...We were ready for "rooming in"!!! So we've moved back into the hospital and are doing most of Ava's care. She's still hooked up to the monitors and the nurses are coming in periodically, but it's definitely progress. If everything goes well, Ava will be discharged tomorrow!!
Our new room....It's connected to the NICU and you still have to check in through the NICU, but we have a bed, TV, bathroom, and our own space.
A little photo shoot in her new outfit...
Dr. Froman and Renee came by for a visit! Love them...
Papa Bart holding Ava for the first time...
Ava had 3 good feeds in a row, so they are planning to remove her NG tube before our next feed. Pictures to come...
