Loud day

Ella is now 3 pounds 1 ounce and doing great. Today the bed next to us was a loud game of musical beds. There were 3 babies that came and went in a matter of 2 hours(transfered to another area since they were doing good) and the noise level kept our princess awake. She is also down to half a liter on her oxygen and that meant she had to get a different canula which means removing the tape from the old one and putting on a new one and that means more irritation. Then, the therapist came by and worked with her on bottle feedings...so...all of that together made our little girl fussy (no nap before noon feeding). She is now sleeping well in her bed and the neighbor next door is there for the time being so hopefully the noise level stays low. She is used to a certain amount of noise here in the NICU because there are always alarms going off, oxygen machines making noise, phones ringing...well...you get the picture, but today it even made me fussy. : )

I am having fun hanging out with the little girl because she has times where she interacts with me and acts like a full term baby instead of a preemie. The light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter. Pray for continued health, growth, and for the bowels, and liver to thrive.
