Hailey is one month old today - happy birthday! Today was a better day. Her largest aspirate was 3cc's and she only spit up very little. She still needs glycerin to poop, but when they gave it to her she had a huge blowout!!! Her weight went down 10 grams to 1690 grams, but that is still around 3 lbs, 12 oz. Most likely the huge diaper blowout caused the weight loss :) Her attending physician stopped by to talk to us today and said they are trying to figure out her "puzzle". The doctor said that since she is 34 weeks she should start to have less bradys, apneas and desats, so since she is having more they need to find the cause. Right now she is on caffeine and they said sometimes that can cause the relux to worsen, which causes the desats to worsen. So they have stopped the caffeine and are going to watch the effect. They said they won't know the full result till Thursday though because it takes a baby a long time to get caffeine out of their system. Other than solving the puzzle they are really happy with her overall progress. One tidbit of fun news. Meme was with me in the room with Hailey tonight and noticed a small beauty mark right above her lip. We had never noticed it before and so I tried to wipe it off thinking it was something else, but sure enough its a beauty mark. I swear it popped up out of nowhere because we stare at her for hours each day. Guess it could happen since she should still be in my belly, things are still forming and maturing. I hear Taylor has one just like it :)
