Not a ton to update today but I feel guilty about not updating for a few days, so here I am! BabyBug had a better day today – she got lots of sleep and hasn’t pulled out the tube yet, though it did get loose once. She had a bath earlier this afternoon and it knocked her out for a bit.

We have been seeing NICU nurses up here for the past few days; apparently it’s been quiet down there so the nurses have been “floating” here. We heard that one of the NICU nurses is moving to a different hospital after today, so we went downstairs to say goodbye, and wound up running into a handful of Leah’s other NICU friends as well. We had a nice couple of minutes showing off BabyBug’s Big Girl pictures, and then one of the nurses took a break and came upstairs to visit with Leah for a little bit. We had a nice visit and Leah was happy to see an old friend, although she seemed a little wary at first: “Are you going to mess with my tube? No? Okay. You may stay.” I can’t wait until we can bring her downstairs to wave at everybody before we take her home!

Now Mommy and Mama are having a nice quiet evening with BabyBug. We attempted tummy time, but Bug was so tired that all she really did was try to see whether pink and green taste the same. No word on the verdict. At present, Leah is snoring into Mandy’s shoulder.

I would like to state for the record, BTW, that there is absolutely nothing better than a giant babysmile. Even if it’s random and not quite social yet. It’s the best. The very best. That is all.
