The past few days have been great - I hope this will be the new trend! Veda is back up in her weight. She weighed in last night at 3lbs 4 ounces, what a relief. Looks like going back on the cannula was a good thing. She was probably wearing herself out trying to keep up her breathing. Now she can relax a bit and let the pounds come on. They'll give the removal another try once she's beefed up a bit.
We've been up to all kinds of stuff these past few days. I gave Veda her first bath and she loved it! Well, she loved the hair washing part at least. When I was done scrubbing her down in the little bath tub, I swaddled her up and put her head under the sink faucet and washed away. She was all bright eyed and happy. Andy and I are scheduled to do another one on Sunday, with the two of us there we should be able to snap some pictures.

We also took an infant massage class this week. This is going to be alot of fun to do with her. And it sounds like there are so many benefits to this. We'll start these on Veda Monday!
Happy Mother's Day (tomorrow) Jaime! You have a beautiful baby Veda! Thank you so much for sharing your story! We are praying for you and Andy and Veda! Love each other, take care of each other! I hope we can meet Veda soon... when she is strong enough! Juan enjoyed golfing today with Andy. We had no idea how premature baby Veda was... Now we know. I pray she grows stronger with each breathe she takes, she is so beautiful! Good job Momma!

So glad to see how well she's doing. I'm a friend of Martha Beard's and have been praying for little Veda. Our little Elise is in the NICU at Providence St. Vincent as well but is now in the East NICU. I'd love to chat sometime and will send you a note via the nurses with my email and phone number. We're hoping Elise might be going home as early as Sunday (which would put her at 10 weeks, 1 day in the NICU - phew) but won't know for sure until the weekend. Maybe we can connect for lunch in the cafeteria one day.
