Yesterday, we finally moved Emilia out of her incubator and put her in a crib. She looked so big in the incubator but looks so small in the large crib. She is old and big enough (35 weeks and over 1.8kg) to regulate her body temperature so we dressed her up (in a onesie), bundled her in blankets and put her in the hospital crib. It's easier to see and touch her now. I don't need to watch her through plexi glass any more.
I am just worried that she might feel cold, but so far her body temperature has been steady around 36.5'C. Her hands are always white and cold but the nurse told me I shouldn't put mitts on her because her hands should be free to touch her face.
I wasn't too keen on moving her to a crib as it is colder, noisier, and brighter but it's all about training her to the environment outside the incubator as she's close to term now. She's a real big girl now.
