All Snuggled

What to do what to do.  Brinleigh is now about 3 lbs and 10 oz.  Approaching that 4 lb area where they were hoping to be able to remove her from her isolette.  The concerns are for her to be able to retain body weight if they do.  Will she be able sustain her body temperature and wiight by burining calories keeping herself warm.  They try to have Carrie Nurse her at least once a day to get her used to breathing and swalloing at the same time.  She burns calories when she nurses.  So between the two they don't know if it is time yet to put her in a crib.  The nursing is good for both Brinleigh and Carrie's milk supply. 

She will have her eyes checked again on Wednesday.  We will see if they are worse or any better then.
