I am so ready to be
home!!! Another mom said having a baby in the NICU is like
Groundhog's day. This is very true. I do the same thing every day. I
hardly know what day of the week it is.
We have a new neonatologist this week. The doctors do
rotations anywhere from one to three weeks. The doctor we had the last
two weeks wasn’t my favorite. The doctor we have this week and next I
really like. He is 75 years old and super kind. He told me on
Sunday that this is the “frustrating stage.” He said she is looking more
like a normal baby so it makes you anxious to go home. This is so
true!! I also think that because the end is closer it is making me more
anxious to go home. We are working on eating. She still has about
1-3 of the A&Bs (not breathing) a day. We have to go 7 days without
one in order to go home. We started giving her one bottle per shift on
Sunday. She is doing really well with the bottles. The only one she
hasn’t finished was during the night shift last night. She drank
about half and then fell asleep. She weighed 3 lbs 15 oz
last night.
