It just keeps on getting better.
Breastfeeding went really well. She actually latched on and fed for a little while. I still had to supplement with a bottle afterwards though. But she was so tired from breastfeeding that she couldn't stay awake long enough to suck on the bottle. Even when she was trying to suck, she couldn't get the coordination right - she was that tired. But she did a really good job. So, from now on, I'll be breastfeeding her at least once a day to get some practice.
Ben just got home a little while ago from the hospital and guess what? The nasal cannula came off!! I can't believe it already happened. I can't wait to see her tomorrow!
Please continue to pray for her. She still has her eye issues that haven't completely resolved yet. And also her lungs. Although she's off the oxygen and although she wasn't officially diagnosed with BPD, she is considered to have respiratory distress syndrome and/or chronic lung disease. As she gets older, in the next few years, and she doesn't catch any nasty colds, her lungs will mature and they will be healthier.
Omg, I can't believe our little munchkin is going to come home soon. I have NOTHING prepared yet. Yikes!
