Zoe had her first bottle feedings today!!  Only 5 ml. every 3 hours but its a start.  She seems to do pretty good at it according to the nurses considering she has had two tubes down her throat for 6 weeks. It takes her about 20-30 minutes to drink the 5 ml. but by the end she seems to have the suck/swallow thing figured out.  She still has a pretty strong gag reflex but that should go away with time.  The nurses definetley have better luck at feeding her than Jason and I do just because they have all the tricks figured out- but we'll learn.  Zoe also go to spend some time in a swinging chair which she loved, it faced out at the NICU so she got to keep an eye on everything happening around her.  Zoe was doing so well, Jason and I actually headed out for a few hours and walked around the Rose Gardens and the Japanese Gardens because who knows how many more 85 degree days there is going to be.  Zoe makes these cute little squeaking sounds all the time, it's as if she is talking to us and making up for lost time.  She still is a bit of an insomniac but at least it means we get to hold her all the time now,  the nurses love it too because it means they get to hold her when Jason and I aren't here.
