Okay, so this really isn't a ProgressiveU post, but I'm dying to say...
I finally got to hold Aybra last night!!

It was the first time I'd gotten to hold her since she was born on March 31st, so I was about to go insane with frustration. Looking at her and touching her through an incubator hole isn't at all the same thing as getting to hold her in your arms. I was supposed to get to hold her weeks ago, but she had to be put back on the ventilator so that, obviously, didn't happen. She extubated herself the day before yesterday though so they're letting her go without the vent. Smart girl! She's doing great without it.
And she likes me! Well, better than Aloshua did any way. He always turned blue when I would hold him (every time, without fail for the first 2 weeks we were allowed to hold him). Aybra just cuddled up and peeked at me and only dropped to 68 (blood ox) once.
So sweet. 
Anyway, I know that wasn't ProgressiveU material, but I absolutely had to share. I'm so excited! You may flog me now for making this a blog entry instead of a forum post and for it not being relevant (and I don't know, sadly, how to break the post so the pictures don't show in the preview and Fanaile isn't online right now to tell me how.. soo...).
