A happy morning and stressful afternoon and evening.

So today started off great. Got down to the NICU to check on her and found out that she had kept her food down and blood sugar stable all night. That trend continues :).  She was off the warmer and we were allowed to put clothes on her. Her preemies are a little big still. We held her and interacted with her all morning long. I was in heaven.
This afternoon she had a little episode of what looked like sleep apnea. It was odd but not super concerning and the nurse showed us what to do. And then it happened again and again and again. We noticed that her temp was low and she went back on the warmer. The nurse was thinking that that was the cause of the apnea episodes. This was not the case and it continues to happen even though she is warm.
I left there tonight truly worried for the first time. Her night nurse is great and has been super attentive, so we know she is in good hands. She is going to try and get her down for an MRI over night so we can get results and information first thing in the morning. She has already called the overnight neonatalogist to make sure that he is aware and can spend some extra time with Bailey on his rounds tonight.
We are praying for a quiet uneventful night for her and that she is able to get into MRI tonight...
And because I like to end my day on a happy note. I finally got her to take a bottle for me. She took 9 ml. lol. Of course she then immediately took all the rest for daddy after quitting on me. Lol. I still count that as a small feeding victory for mommy.
