Arabella was alert and wide-eyed during today's hold with mommy. After a while, she started yawning and eventually fell asleep.
Oh, those eyes.
Yesterday I got a chance to hold her, and it felt so good to have her close to me again. She's never given us any issues during skin-to-skin. Such a good girl 😃
Belle weighs 850 grams today. She's slowly gaining weight again.
We're still awaiting the blood culture results but so far everything is looking good. We're on track. A few other tests were planned for today, mainly for her liver and an exam on her eyes. But first, Belle had to get some eye drops put in, and she didn't like them one bit. Immediately after she received the drops, she put her hands up to her face and started rubbing her eye lids. I'm surprised at how coordinated she's getting.
Little Ara also managed to put her thumb into her mouth again today (Kiera was able to snag a pic). These are things we love to see.
Arabella has many nicknames, as you may have noticed. We love the variety, and everyone calls her something different. Ara, Bella, Belle, Tinkerbell...a name for all occasions.
Our three year old niece Lilianna calls her 'Baby Cinderella' and it's the most adorable thing ever 💗
Personally, I love the variety, and I love nicknames. Especially for babies and small children. It makes things fun and playful.
Here's Belle getting a check-up by a student from George Brown college, while our primary nurse Cora looks on.
We love Cora. She's always staying past her shift to make sure that our little girl is taken care of.
