Crazy For This Girl
Well... Here's a more concrete update for everyone! The last two days she was holding steady at 3lbs 13oz and today we're up to 3lbs 14oz! So proud of her weight gain! We've been nursing for a whole week now! Yay! We did take a break from breast feeding and tried out a bottle on Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday we ate about 10mls on our own and Thursday, Daddy fed her and she got about 5mls. She keeps tuckering out on us, but we're still trying! Today we got the word that we're allowed to feed her TWICE a day now... That means more evening and late night visits, as it's typically best to spread them out enough so that she can sleep and regain enough energy to try again in the same day. I think we'll try breast feeding once a day and a bottle the other time to get her used to both and to let Daddy be able to bond with her as well. The bottle is also a little easier for her tiny mouth to work with.
I have been searching for a new preemie hat for her, so that she can be super stylish. I found one today at Babies R Us. We'll get to try it out tonight at our evening feeding with Daddy! I got a tip from the nurse that you can clip a hair bow onto the hat to jazz it up a little. I'm going to take a hair bow with us tonight and see how it looks. :)
In other exciting news, our friends Jonathan and Tiffany are having their baby right now as we speak! Sarah's going to have a nursery mate soon! At least for a day or two. :) Though little Liam won't be in the NICU, just the regular nursery on the other side of the window. Very excited to meet this little boy today!
We're starting to see some of the big insurance claims roll in. It's seriously amazing how much healthcare costs these days. I'm so thankful that Sarah and I have good insurance and is definitely carrying most of the financial burden for us. One of the doctors that Sarah saw at Centennial has billed for over $90,000 on just one bill. That's just crazy!!
