Eva :)

Today we were greeted by a cpap machine showing only 35% oxygen for Eva and 22% for Emilia.  We both couldn't stop grinning as these are vast reductions compared to what they have been having before, especially for baby Eva :)  She really has been a different baby today, she has been herself :).  Really awake and smiley and managed to keep her oxygen saturation constant all day. 

On Monday we were supposed to give her a bath, but the nurses felt that she was too delicate.  But today we gave her one and she was a little trooper.  She loved it and so did we :)  Her eyes were open the whole time, it was so special.

She has been quite swollen because she has been retaining water.  So she was given medicine to make her wee and they think that is the reason for the vast improvement.  She wasn't swollen at all today and just looked really rosy, cute and content. 

I have been a mess emotionally today.  I just cannot stop crying, I suppose it is the relief.  Emilia is still having poo issues but the Dr doesn't think it is anything serious, just that they need to find the right balance.  But she looks great too, really awake, rosy cheeked and smiley.  If there was something seriously wrong then she would be showing signs of that. 

So, I am now going to get ready for bed and watch Grey's Anatomy and get all of these tears out of me.  I really am a mess and hate crying in public which I did about 3 times today!  But I am so happy and even though this has been the hardest thing that I have ever dealt with, in a weird way it is the best because I have seen my babies grow.  You have to go through rain to see a rainbow and it is safe to say that me, Jens, Emilia and Eva will be sleeping under one tonight :)
