29 days old

Charlotte's PICC line has now been taken off since she's eating more than enough to maintain her own fluids and she's also been moved to a crib instead of the isolette! All of this means that she could finally take a bath today and I was more than excited to give her one. After 4 weeks, she surprisingly didn't smell bad yet, but she was a bit greasy. We put her in deeper water because the nurse suggested she might like the floating aspect and sure enough, she really seemed to enjoy the whole experience. She was practically grinning throughout the bath, but the cutest part was when the nurse suggested she have a towel wrapped around her head to keep it warm while we bathed the rest of her. Charlotte looked like a diva in a baby spa!

Poor little Lilah has still had to be fed by tube at least once a day, so her time frame to come home keeps getting pushed back further. She had a visit from the physical therapist today to make sure she was hitting her milestones like turning her head toward noises or repositioning herself when placed face-down, and she passed every test, but it wore her down and so she fell asleep before she could finish her whole bottle. Darn.
