We got an email from Emma's nutritionist within hours and increased her feeds to 140ml, an increase of over 10%! So far she has been tolerating it well and when we go to the hospital next week we hope to see some weight gain.
Emma is increasingly active with a love for waving her arms and legs! also a favorite is pulling on any tube or wire she can find, which includes her feeding tube (she's tried to eat the end of that), her feeding bag (she laid on the sofa today pulling at the tube, watching the hanging bag shake!) and her pulse-ox wire that is attached to her foot!
Here she is after being caught waving the bag!
This afternoon Scott came home and picked up Emma as soon as he could! It chokes me up to see how he can't wait to see her! Of course after they'd both had dinner the inevitable happened:
Later on as we debated who would make a trip to pick up some milk Emma started to cry from her crib. Scott drew the short straw (I think!) and went out while I went to tend the baby. Now all the books say not to stimulate the baby too much, just get in and get out so they will get back to sleep. Tell me if you could find this and not at least want to give her a quick squeeze!
