I've been so tired i haven't had time to update! Ivey is doing really well. After much talking to the DRs and nurses we where able to finally get Ivey on Prolacta. That's the human milk fortifier that's made from donor human breast milk, not cow milk!!! Very very happy about that! She started that yesterday, so far so good! No spitting up! She even gained 60grams over night! She's at 1320 now. Once she's at 1500grams she can get swaddled and clothed. Maybe a week from now. Also a week from now she might get off CPAP and start "snuggling" at the breast. Then a week out from that we start trying to breast feed. So alot of things will be happening in the coming weeks!
Here's a photo of Ivey 3 weeks old. This is the first time i've ever seen her with out a hat on. I'm not going to lie, i was a little freaked out. I had no idea her head would be so misshapen. Totally normal they tell me, her skull is still soft and will harden and shape up in the weeks to come! Her face is also really red and funny looking, from the tape they use to keep the CPAP on. Her nose is all stretched out from the giant nose prongs from her CPAP. Which they tell me will shrink back! Shes also really mad in all these photos because they are messin with her. She's the boss! Don't cross her!!! ;)
