Day 10: Ben visits again and more Skype!

Mallory had another good day, nothing really new on her front, just continuing to slowly improve the suck/swallow reflexes.

She did gain more weight and is up to 1.81 kilograms, which is just over 4 pounds and almost back up to birth weight.

Ben and Tucker came up after work, so we had a later than normal evening at the hospital, we didn't leave until 10 pm. Ben got the chance to hold her for quite a while. I kangaroo'd twice again today. I also got to give her a bath tonight, which she didn't enjoy very much, but I don't think they ever do at this age!

We got to skype into some of the family this evening, so Aunt Brenda, Bud and Susan and Amy, Blake and Eli got to call into see Mallory! Skype is so great, everyone in the nursery night shift thinks of me as the Skype lady! Apparenlty no one else has ever done that before, which I find hard to believe, I know I'm fairly technologically savvy, but no other skypers?? Whatever.

So, for the most part today, I'm just posting quite a few pictures, my favorite is the one with her cute little eyes open while kangarooing next to me in my robe.

Love our little bean!







Also, Tucker is getting used to Mallory's scent by sleeping on and sniffing on her used blankets....he's got to be a good big brother!
