After feedings I have to pump. Then we have about 1-1.5 hour before the next feeding. We use this time to catch up on phone calls, emails, and each other. It's been wonderful that Jesse is off work and we are making this NICU journey together.
Friends and family have expressed an interest in visiting. While we are excited to show off our cuddle bug the NICU has a lot of rules. No kids under 14. No one even the slightest bit sick. Visiting hours 11-8. Only 2 visitors per day. Since there is a limit to the visitors we have offered the opportunity to our immediate family first. Once they have all made it up we may be able to have others. In the meantime I will try to keep up with this blog. You can also see pictures and videos on our shutterfly site(warning-work in progress!). https://babyprymac.shutterfly.com/pictures/5
We have also received an overwhelming outpouring of generosity in the form of meals. We can't tell you how much this has helped us. We have been spending full days at the NICU and nothing is better than coming home to a home-cooked meal. In an attempt to organize the meals coming in I found this website. http://mealbaby.com/viewregistry/16253900. If it's too confusing just text one of us.
It's almost time to pump again but before I close, a quick medical update:
-no more IV
-no more phototherapy for jaundice
-eating 32 cc every three hours(that is just over an ounce)
-she needs to gain weight and regulate her body temp
She's doing great!!!!
