Hint: it’s one of the pretty girls in the photo. . . . Okay, here’s another photo to help you figure it out:
This evening we called the night nurse to find out her daily weight, and Becca’s reached 1800 grams! Tonight they may see how she does outside the incubator in a crib — with just clothes (!) and blankets. She may not be ready yet to hold her body heat without help, but it’s a positive step forward for her nurse to try the crib. Probably next week they’ll try her on a bottle, too. At her gestational age, she may not have the coordination to suck, breathe, and swallow all at the same time, but again, it’s great that they’re ready to try. (I have trouble myself with breathing and swallowing at the same time.)
In the photo above, you can see Becca getting a bath last night. It was the second bath Amy and I have given her (with supervision, of course).
Tonight we called the nurse instead of going in to the hospital since it was date night. After dinner out, we played 3 rounds of Memory (another gift from Aunt Cindy). Guess who won two out of three rounds?

We wrapped up the evening by reviewing last year’s goals and setting new ones for 2010. Now it’s bed time.
