Emilia is 10 weeks old

Yes, that is right. Emilia is 10 weeks old and we have been in Level III NICU for 70 days. She's 35 weeks and 5 days and is stable so right now they are trying to transfer us out to a Level II NICU. We are still waiting for a bed space to be available at NYGH.

In the meantime, she's just eating and growing. Her weight tonight was 2390g. Her ROP exams were so far good. She is still on low flow oxygen, though at times, she goes apneic and desaturates in oxygen. She seems to have a reflux problem so we are giving her some meds to help with that. We are still working on early breastfeeding. Our breastfeeding sessions rather look like a wrestling match. She and I struggle to find the right position and I try to force her to latch on while she just wants to lick milk. No wonder there are so many books on breastfeeding.

Here are some pictures from past few days:

Too bad there is that pink tape on every picture
