Another Milestone

Yesterday Elizabeth was cleared from her doc off of oxygen!! Today is her first full day without it. She came off of it, at about 11 am yesterday went back on for an hr for one feeding, and then went back on during the night. We aren't using the oximeter except for maybe at night. But she is doing great. I can't believe how well she is doing and has been doing, especially since she's not even full term yet (37 wks).

She's beginning to act more like a newborn now. She can lift her head, and turn it from side to side. She can almost turn over but she just can't figure out how to move her arm out from underneath her. When we lay her on her belly, she tries to get her knees under her, she's already wanting to crawl...Last week she weighed 5 lbs 12.5 oz, and she is 19 inches long. So pretty soon she'll be 3 lbs up from her birth weight and she is 4 inches up from her birth length. But I'm so happy she's off of o2, makes is easier to drag her around the house now. :)
