I was finally able to catch her rolling over on video. After many 5 minute videos of nothing but wiggling, we finally caught it last night! This is Roll Over #4 for her and second one yesterday. 1 week and 1 day after I first saw her roll over. Sorry for the talk about the Todd Central football team in the middle of the video!

Videos I've been trying to post for a while
Here's a couple videos of me holding her and Ben holding her that I've been trying to post but couldn't because of the crummy internet at the campground.
I believe the video of me and Mallory is on April 6th and the one of her and Ben is the first time he held her a couple days later.

Day 2: 4-6-2010 Update
Mom came back to the hospital around 10 am and her, Ben and I then went down to the nursery to see Mallory. I got to hold her again and them mom held her for a few minutes as well. Ben's parents came in a little while later and took more pictures and got to see her.
She seemed to be doing well but she's still having her temperature regulated, so when she's out from under the crib for too long her body temp goes down, so Beverly, her nurse, suggested that we try "kangarooing" this afternoon, which is basically skin to skin contact with baby, so we will give that a try later today.
All of us went off to eat lunch in the cafeteria and sat outside. I find it funny that it was like 87 degrees in Louisville today and the only clothes outside of pj's that I had at the hospital were the clothes I wore to the hospital the Saturday we went in when my water broke. They had been washed, but that was mid Feb, so I had on yoga pants and a big sweatshirt! Oh well, clothes were on the list for Ben to bring this coming weekend, not earlier!
After lunch, Mom headed back home and I rested for a while. The lactation nurse came by to talk me through this whole pumping thing....still reminds me of hooking up the dairy cows to the milkers as a kid on Grandad's dairy farm, but it's good for her, so we do what we must do!
Ben had gone out to find Mallory some more preemie clothes and a few other things, so i went down to the nursery where he would come by later. I got to Kangaroo for around 45 minutes which is just great, I think I could do that all day long! Basically they put her down your shirt so she is just in a diaper and her skin is right next to your skin. She loved it and we covered up with a blanket and after 45 minutes, her body temp really hadn't gone down, so that's the way to do it!
Then at 4pm it was time for her to be fed again. She didn't take to well to feeding around lunch, she didn't take to it too well, but it was her first time on the bottle, threw most of it up and it really upset her and shot her heart rate up, so I was anxious to see how it went now. The plan was to get 10cc down her and it took a little while, but she did excellent and took the entire bottle! So, Beverly gave us her first official bottle!
We left soon after, so I hope she kept it all down, we will find out after while, but she said she did great and much better than the first try! Dr Sing, who is the neonatal baby dr came by while I was with her too. She said she's doing great and although it's still tough to know yet how long Mallory will be in the hospital, they always tell you they will be there until their due date, which of course would be almost 7 weeks away, but in the same breath they tell you most go home well before that. My guess is 2-3 weeks tops, but who knows. The fact that she took to the bottle is a good sign!
Also, we no longer have to wear gloves and gown when we touch her, the MRSA testing I believe is what they were waiting to come back, came back negative, so we can really "touch" her now! Her infection tests they are doing ever day have come back negative as well every day, so she will probably be taken off antiobiotics in a day or two and her air cannula will come out soon as well, at that point I think all that will be left is just a feeding tube that they just use on occassion and then the iv which can be taken out when she is eating by bottle all the time. They have also moved her into an isolet, which is basically a totally plastic covered enclosed bed that helps to regulate her temperature more, so hopefully once she gains a little more weight she will move to an open air bed.
Here's a little video we took today when we were holding her before lunch.....love our little bean!!

My first attempts at making a video with my new camera and editing it, adding music, etc on my mac. Not great, not bad, and I'm sure Matt will be thrilled that he is my first project!
Here's Matt and Sadie (Memaw's dog) at Christmas Eve at her house, 2009!
