Mommy also got a chance to see me work with the occupational therapist today. She learned that gravity is not a preemies friend. Gravity can make us keep our hands flexed open and our legs pushed down straight - both positions that are not typical for a newborn or a baby in utero. The therapist taught Mommy exercises she could do with me to practice making a fist and bending my legs to build my muscle tone. She also laid me on my side and my tummy which I liked a lot. I did a good job, but OT is hard work!
Daddy came to visit after work today and I was more wide awake for his visit. He hung out with Riley and I and cuddled with each of us for a while. Mommy told us she was going by her office after her visit with us because her work friends were throwing her a shower to celebrate our arrival, too bad we couldn't go too!
