Hopes

IM feeling so hopful tonight. I just got off the phone with Iveys night nurse. She thinks Ivey could be home really soon. She said most babies don't do as well with breast feeding, but Ivey is doing awesome! In fact she's better at breast feeding then bottle! I thought she HAD to do 8 bottle feeds a day to leave, she says I can nurse her and those times count. So the plan now is to go up at least twice a day to nurse. Ivey is still off oxyogen and now she has her pulseometer off. She's has 40cc of milk at each feed, and is gaining weight!! Yeah go Ivey! I cleaned her carseat today and put clean sheets on her crib. Her dresser is full of her clothes and I sorted all her cloth diapers. I'm going to keep the nesting up. I want this house ready for her arrival! Also, tomorrow the LC will do another per and post weigh in. So we can see just how much breastmilk she is transferring.
