Today didn't feel like my day off work, felt more like a long day at work! Lack of sleep and rest are yet again catching up to me. Its hard to unwind, rest or sleep when i know i need to pump in 2-3 hours. To top it off I feel like i'm getting mastitis. I really hope not! I had that with Willow, very painful. I'm drinking more water. Rest would help. Enough about me! Ivey is doing well. Went to see her today. She's up 10g, which still isn't what they like to see. I was told they like to see 1/2-1oz a day. She's no where near that! As long as she's going up thats all that matters, just means she might be there longer. They did take her down to one litter on her oxygen. Thats good news. Today we tried to nuzzle again. She wasn't having it! She wasn't alert at all today, she just wanted to snooze it up. The nurse said she may not be used to that "touch time" I normally come in everyday at 2:30, but today i went in at 11:30. Tomorrow i'm meeting with the lactation consultant @ 2:30, she'll help give me tips on breastfeeding a preemie. I'm looking forward to that.
