Me Feeding and Burping for First Time!

Today has been another exciting day! The Drs have agreed that even though they started me early on my Bottle feeds (normally not introduced untill considered 34 weeks gestation, I was given my First Bottle while only 33 weeks gestation) I have been doing sooooo good (drinking 33-35 cc's withing 15 to 20 min per feed) that they have now uped them to 6 per day including 1 actual Breastfeeding session! YAY!

We are praying all goes well tomorrow with the brand new orders! The more the better and the closwer I get to getting out of here! :O)

Also, they have gone down on my O2 to 1/8th of a liter of air flow. This is the lowest setting they can go before completely taking me off the oxygen! The Dr advised soon they will try to ween me off of this as well!

Please continue to pray for me, healing and strenght! Rest be unto my parents!

God Bless!

Not much changed today other than I get to have more bottle feedings. WHOO HOO!!! I went from getting 2 bottles to 3 bottles and now I have ordes for 4 bottles starting tomorrow. That means I get a bottleof 33c's at every other feeding. I am weighing 3lbs 15ozs.

My daddy held me for like a whole hour today. I was sooo awake that even when mommy and daddy left after like an hour and a half, I was still WIDE AWAKE and LOOKING AROUND.

Wow what a great weekend we had. Dr. Bedi gave orders on Friday evening for the nurse to try me on my first bottle feeding and guess what.. I DID GOOD! so then they said that since I did good, Mommy could feed me my bottle on Sat.

Saturday came and Mommy held me and gave me my bottle. Again I drank it all. This is all new to me. I have never sucked and had something squirt in my mouth before.. They have been and still are feeding me by a feeding tube in my nose.

I did so well with the bottle feeding that yesterday the Dr. wrote orders for me to get 2 bottle feeds per day, one at 6am and then another at 6pm. That went well today and now they have changed it to 3 bottle feeds per day. So now every 3rd feeding is by bottle. If I continue to do well on the bottle, then they will take the feeding tube out of my nose and I am one more step closer to going home.

Mommy and Daddy spent several hours at the hospital today just "Hanging Out" with me. I really enjoyed that. Daddy held me for most of the time, and he even got to feed me my bottle. I GOBBLED IT DOWN in about 5 min!!!

Mommy and Daddy are trying to Juggle Time right now, between spending time here at the hospital, working, and now trying to get our new house up to par for us to move in to. It has a LOT of work that has to be done, but we hope and pray that we wil be moving into it within 3 months.

I weigh 3lbs 14oz today!!

It's getting late so I gotta quit talking so daddy can go to bed. wink*

Last night, Daddy stayed at the apartment so he could be there early for the signing today so Mommy stayed up late at the hospital and caught me sneaking a snack on my Binkie! :O) Isn't I cute?!?!?!? Ok.. well Mommy is biased but I still think I is cute too!

Drs are still amazed by my progress so we are hoping to go home in September! We know a God who can move mountains and get me out of jail!!!!!!!!! :O)

Love to all! God Bless!
