Making exercise

Peanut has...
her own dishes...

Madeleine has still been resting and has been a very good girl for her nurses lately. She still isn't fond of sleeping on her back...it appears that she's more awake on her back so maybe that's the cause of the desats and flailing arms! We call it "making exercise" after a lady that I used to work for at a gallery in Chicago...she would hard boil eggs and crack one on the counter. The dog would hear that and come running but she would never give the dog the egg until he "made exercise". She would hold the egg over his head and in her thick German accent she would say, "Make exercise!" and the dog would growl and spin around in circles until he earned the egg!

Madeleine is currently earing her 1 ml of milk every 6 hours...not nearly as fattening as a hard boiled egg...but probably tastes better. Her exercises are waving ( or so it seems), reaching all the way back and feel the vent tubes and licking on the ones in her mouth. She also found her mouth with her hand and "nommed" on that for a while. "Nom Nom Nom...tasty hand". She's been a squirmy little Peanut while on her back but loves when we "cup her" at the feet and top of the head...she feels contained...even big daddy did it for her tonight! She loves him.

Punkin gets a whole new bed tomorrow...she's been living in her current Peanut Palace for a little over 3 weeks. She gets a new one and it sounds like quite the manuever...I probably will not want to watch as I will fret and get in the way. I'll just have faith, say some prayers and leave it to the the pros! Maybe I'll distract myself at J.Jill buying an Easter outfit? Peanut would approve. I have to get it while I can...pretty soon there will be a new girl getting all the outfits!!
