For the last few days Miss Eva has been hanging out in her isolette with the "lid" lifted up. This is great news--it means she's able to keep herself warm!
It actually started when she had been laying on Calvin's chest one evening. After we left and they did her usual 3 hour check, which includes taking her temperature, she was warmer than she should have been. When we called in the morning, her nurse said they had tried to get her temp down all night (she was only slightly warmer than normal; it wasn't fever-type temps). So we thought her daddy had overheated her and might need to find another way to hold her. As it turns out, they eventually turned the heat down in her isolette and then opened it up, and since then she just kinda went with it and has been enjoying her open-air isolette. We think she was just on the verge of being able to keep herself warm, and Calvin just provided that extra little push. (completely mommy and daddy diagnosis--absolutley no medical basis on this theory!!)
