Hi, All,

Just another big day for Bea in the Infant Special Care Unit. Life chugs along, and so does our Little One.

The latest news is that Ms. Bea took three consecutive feeds from a bottle today. Three! This is a significant accomplishment for a 36-week old (gestational age) baby; it's simply amazing for a 36-weeker with a hermatocrit level of 23 (Anything below 25 is considered significantly anemic). The nurses are amazed that our Bea is able to take one bottle a day in her condition. Three is unprecedented, but nobody's going to tell the Little One what she can and can't do.

Unfortunately, our regular Tuesday spa night was not quite as relaxing as last week's. Water was a little cold, and we were a little rushed. However, we accomplished our goal, which was to clean Little Miss Stinky Pants, who was living up to the nickname. Pee-ew. No we're smelling sweet, like roses.

Anyway, Bea will be home before we know it if she keeps up this pace. If she goes any faster, she might get up and walk out before her due date.

Thanks so much to everyone.

Team Beatrice (Ian)
