Here's olivia under the incredibly cute quilt made by the Cambridge Quilters, a group that makes quilts specifically for premature babies in the NICU and SCBU.

I almost forgot another major milestone for us; she's off the IV drip! For about 24 hours that meant that there was just one less hose attached to her (it's very challenging to move around with her with all these leads). But since she was doing so well ff the IV, after a day they took the needle out of her little hand (they'd left it in just in case they needed to re-attach the IV). This was a great thing, because the needle and the associated extra "stuff" were big and bulky, like a little club on her arm. A welcome change. Olivia's still monitored with 2 wires now, one for the pulse-oxymeter, and one for the apnea monitor (in case she pauses in her breathing). this makes it much easier to pick her up, which she seems to really like; any time she's a little upset, we can pick her up and give her a cuddle and she calms right down- I just hope it stays that way!

Ok, I'm off to the hospital. I'll send more updates when I can.
