On the way to the Havens after lunch, Dr. Weaver asked if we wanted to participate in a "new research study". . . we were all like "sure, what kind of research"? She said lets see how fast we can go over the speed bumps and how far your bottoms go off the seats! haha. This was hilarious. Kaylee, Catherine, Rachel, and I were in the back and we were def up for her challenge. Dr. Weaver made sure to speed up on every hole and speed bump. We caught air a few times, almost hitting our heads on the ceiling of the truck. We laughed so hard we were almost crying. Dr. Weaver is so fun and we are so lucky to have her!
Since the others were sick we had a lot smaller of a group at the Havens and I was able to get to do my first swallowing/feeding session with the babies at Haven 1 and Haven 3. Caroline supervised us on exercises to help the babies muscles get stronger for feeding. These exercises were a very new experience for me. We used a z vibe and also some Beckman exercises to stimulate their muscles. I can't wait to do it again and learn more about swallowing/feeding from Caroline. I can tell our work here with her is really going to make a difference in these babies lives. I only got spit up on a couple of times and overall it was an amazing experience.

the sweetest little things ever
baby Hamilton needs your prayers. He is THE tiniest thing I have ever seen and has feeding/swallowing issues! our team is taking extra special care of him. So pray we get him healthy.
Tonight I have decided to do Zumba. Dr. Weaver is gonna do it with us too! So this should be tons of fun! haha. I will let you know how it goes.
