Another quick update...Sloan got moved to the front of NICU!!! There are 4 or 5 'pods' in the NICU and apparently the babies that need the least intensive care are towards the front. We had been in the next to last pod this whole time, so you can imagine our surprise when we went to visit her last night and she wasn't in her spot!! We walked all the way back there and stared at the incubator for a second and said "That's not our baby." They had moved her all the way to the first pod! Now Sloan is front and center when everyone walks in (the only downside is that it's not as much privacy as we'd like, but that is ok). The nurses also said she is showing really great 'feeding signs' - hands to her mouth, smacking her lips, etc. and they will likely try to feed her through a bottle next week. That is typical for 34 weeks, so she is right on schedule. They're also going to try to put some clothes on her soon to start testing her ability to regulate her temperature.
Now on to the real reason for this update - to show off Sloan's "squishy face". She has this funny little habit where she'll be sleeping peacefully, then make the most ridiculous scowl/squishy face for a few seconds...then go back to normal. It is absolutely hysterical & we caught it on camera last night!
Enjoy!
