Dare I say "Happy Birthday I think we can celebrate a week! Cael had a great rest last night. We unfortunately weren't able to nurse though. The nurses reassure me that that's typical in 99% of babies that they see come through at his age. Basically, his first day nursing was awesome. He knew what he was doing and was getting milk. By day two though, he was tired. And when I stop to think about what he's been through in his short life, it's understandable, I'd be tired too. In order to make sure that he was getting enough milk, we decided to feed him through the tube last night. Well we gave him colostrum (basically liquid gold) Anyway, he got a big ole dose of colostrum and he "slept like a baby" for lack of better words. So this morning when I tried to nurse at 4AM, needless to say he was still sleeping off his thanksgiving dinner basically. So we tube fed him again. Hopefully after a good night's rest and a belly full of milk he's rearin and ready to go at nursing!!! Wish us luck. We'll see what the doctors say at rounds this morning. I don't know that there will be a lot to update, but you never know. I'm not holding my breath for going home tomorrow, but am still praying that it could happen if we have a kick butt day at breastfeeding.
On a side note - his weight was up last night! As Kylie would say "Woot Woo!!!"
Until later, Love to all~
