Enter the INCUBATOR!

As you can see from the pictures below, Savannah has moved into the "stable" category of babies, and they've put her inside an incubator. She is doing really well, receiving an ounce of milk every 3 hours. (a normal sized baby gets 8 ounces) The only thing that stinks about the incubator is that you can't really see her; there is a glare on the cover and you have to kind of press your face up to the glass to get a good look. But it is a good move for her. The difference between the incubator and the tray setup she had is that the incubator is not "radiant heat", it is more like central heat and air in your home. There is a constant flow of air going through her "box" and it keeps her warm. The only way we can touch her now is if we hold her at a feeding, or if we put our arms through these holes that you can see on the side of the incubator. Otherwise we can't really touch her. But she is getting bigger and bigger, last night she was weighed at 3 pounds six ounces, doing much better!
