Taking More Feeds!!!



Between the reflux, waiting for the medicine to kick in, and me doing it wrong (see picture), Campbell has had a slow week when it came to her feedings. However, something just clicked yesterday . . . . she nursed 4 times yesterday (at about 75% of her prescribed volume) and took 2 bottles (at 100%). That's 6 feedings!!!! As I'm typing this, she's up to 7 in a row . . . Go Campbell Go!!!!
They think her trouble from this week was due to the reflux so they started her on medicine a few days back and it take a few days for it to begin working . . . and it did yesterday!
What's this mean for her . . . . we don't know exactly . . . but here is what I do know . . . we passed the car seat inspection test yesterday and it's sitting in our back seat waiting for a 4lb 3oz little girl. I also know that on Monday they are doing another blood test to check her red blood cell count (it was a little low last Monday). So, being the optimistic that I am . . . maybe Tuesday . . . maybe Wednesday?*

Sorry Jessica . . . Jessica is our first casualty of Baby Madness 2008.

Robbie, have you seen meet the fockers? If so, are you wearing the breast so the baby doesn't develop any complexes?
Love you!

Tuesday or Wednesday is GREAT because that means $$$ for me! No, seriously, I just hope that it's soon becuase I know y'all can't wait to finally have her home.
