CrAzY Week!

  I have been going to the hospital every morning, getting there about a quarter to 8 am. And staying there until about 4-4:30pm. With rush hour traffic takes me about 45 minutes to an hour to get home. So that leaves me about two and a half hours at home with my kids before Mark and I turn around and head back up to the hospital. So my blogging has not been happening. Because there is no service for my cell phone in the hospital I can't update while I'm there and I don't want to update while I'm with my kids. So now you know why I'm behind.

      Cole has been working very hard on nursing.  He has nursed 3 times, where he has eating a full feeding.  Every other time he eats a half of a feeding. He is still on the oxygen box. It seems to be helping his congestion. He is now weighing 5lbs 11oz.
    I have ok them to give him a bottle. The first bottle he took he ate about half of this feeding. The last couple nights when the nurses have offered him a bottle he has pinched his lips tight and refused to eat it. This is creating a problem because I can't be there during the night. So we are hoping that he will start taking a bottle soon.



                                 Here is my fortune from lunch today.

     We were moved to a different room today. And they have a new rule of gloves and gowns. I was excited that we don't have to wear masks. I was told that there is a sick baby and they want to make sure that it's sickness doesn't spread.

       We just got done visiting Cole. We had planned for the OT theraphis to give him a bottle so we came up late.  She was late feeding him, so we got there just in time to watch. She said it was so funny he did the same thing when she started. He put his lips together and did not want anything to do with the bottle. She worked with him for the next little while. He eat just a little bit of the bottle (9mil). Then afterwards I breast fed him which he did pretty well (24mil). A full feeding is 48mil, so he did very well tonight.
