Small baby, big bark

Mom holding Caroline

First family portrait

My ring on her shoulder.  It could fit on her arm.

Caroline turned two weeks old yesterday.  I cannot believe it's only been two weeks.

She had a new nurse yesterday.  The nurse thought she was getting a sweet little baby, but Caroline acted up all day.  She said that she acts like one of the bigger babies.  She absolutely hates her CPAP machine.  She tried to pull it out the entire time I was up there.  At one point, two nurses had to come over to get it back on.  They were both laughing and said that they want nothing to do with her when she is full grown.

Her apnea was the same as Thursday - still having to fight it, but she recovers on her own.  Good.

They upped her feedings last night to 19 CC's per feeding.  She is getting close to an ounce each time.  Her weight was up again.  I think it she was 2 pounds, 5 ounces, but they later said 6 ounces.  Either way, she grew again.

Katie is holding her a lot and Caroline really likes that.  I am going to try to hold her this weekend.

I am adding some pictures and youtube videos.  I hope it works.  She is starting to open her eyes a lot more.  I know she cannot see anything, but I like to think she is looking at me.
