Big news everyone! Selena let me hold her for the first time today without freaking out! She started off squirming around and trying to get away as usual...but then I took her and sat down on the bed with her and she calmed down and just sat in my hand. We sat there for a couple of minutes...but then my son came bolting through the door and scared her and then she wanted to go home. Big progress, though. I was concerned about one thing....when I was holding her at first, there was a strange clicking sound coming from her stomach. Just a little click...click...click when she was breathing...it stopped though. I've never heard it before. No mites on my hand, though...that's good news.
