Okay, when I said I wanted to see eyeballs, I didn’t mean WHILE Leah was still supposed to be sleeping! A couple of hours ago the little stinker tried to wake up. Not like, eyes cracked open a tiny bit, but full on open (albeit bleary and drugged) eyes, trying to look around and being all, “Maaaaamaaaa, what’s going on?” I called the nurse and then sang to Leah with my hand on her head until the nurse could administer another dose of Ativan on top of the sedative she’s already getting. Oy vey, bitty Bug! I want nothing more than to look into my BabyPie’s eyes right now, but not if it means she’s going to jeopardize her sutures. OMG. Nervous Mama!

In other news, extubation “most likely tomorrow” has morphed into “tomorrow or Thursday.” So I guess we’ll see how it goes! BabyPie had a very slight fever (like in the 99s) this evening but it’s down to high 98s. Sometimes that happens if she is bundled up too much, so hopefully that’s all it was.
