she needs wide open spaces

sunday night josie got transfered from her isolette to a spacious & roomy crib. definitely a step in the right direction. it's also way, way easier to change her diaper and get her out :) she also moved out of the nicu wing into the nim wing. it's an "intermediate" wing of babies who are less critical and are on their way home. it's quite a change. the rooms are brighter and the babies are typically older...which means they can cry loud enough to be heard. so it's both brighter and louder. we're happy she's making progress...but i have to admit i miss the cozy dark, quiet rooms of the nicu :) but i definitely don't miss all the alarms going off in the nicu!

josie is just about 36 weeks and her one main goal is still to figure out how to eat. well actually, she has kinda figured out the bottle & even nursing...the only problem is that she's rarely awake so she doesn't get much practice. so i guess we need to add another goal...wake up!

more specifically she needs to wake up at every 3 hours starting at 5am. the nurses are pretty specific about when she gets a chance to eat. but silly josie doesn't care because she knows her little feeding tube will give her whatever she needs :)
