She did it! She rolled over--both ways from her belly to her back. I was so excited to see it. I had been waiting for this moment for a couple of weeks, wondering if she would even do it. Most of the time on her belly Evelyn spends crying--or more often--yelling in discomfort, so we don't spent a lot of time in that position. Just a few minutes every day. I suppose if lying on her belly were comfortable she'd just put down her head and take a nap.
Rolling over is one of many milestones I'll be marking over the years, but it's one of my favorites. It's like she's realizing there's a whole new world out there. She rolls over--ah, what's this? Mommy's face, and a new view. Okay, I'm smiling. Then she spits up. Hard work, rolling over.
This day was also a milestone in her lungs. After the rollover workout, she slept over three hours without oxygen at a steady 98. Awesome! I had time to build block castles with Maisey, play princesses, and make a snack for us both. All the while checking her monitor every 10 minutes to that same beautiful number: 98. She slept like a normal baby. My day felt almost normal.
