Update for Monday, April 4

Paul and I spent the weekend with Katherine, and our baby girl continues to amaze us. On Saturday, she came off of her oxygen - and has stayed off - without any breathing problems. With the removal of the nasal canules also comes the removal of the big stickers on her cheeks that were holding the oxygen tube in place. It's nice to be able to see and kiss her face now.

Here's a picture of her without the oxygen. In this photo she's telling us that she's getting overwhelmed. In fact, by the time she's had a diaper change and new clothes, she's often got her little hands up in front of her face like this and it's her way of saying she's had enough stimulation.



Katie continues to gain weight - she's at 4 pounds, 12 ounces today - and she's still working hard on trying to eat out of a bottle. Today our girl reached another small baby milestone - she hurled. She was taking her bottle feeding from the nurse when she had her first projectile spit-up. I would have never imagined it, but we're proud of puke! As we sign-off here's a photo of Katie and her Daddy from yesterday.
