Ivey must not know the price of gas!

Today i went to breast feed Ivey at her 2:30 touch time.  She would NOT wake up! I had her latched on for almost 30min and nothing!  We ended up doing the gavage feeding.  If she wouldn't wake up for a breastfeeding, she surely wouldn't wake up for a bottle!  The DR has now ok'd Ivey to have 4 nipple feeds a day.  So far she's doing pretty good, today was the first day she was to tired to nurse.  She's taken a few full bottles and some just half.  When she doesn't finish a bottle she gets the rest of the feed threw the gavage.  Me and Cri are going to go up for her 8:30 touch time, hopefully she will be awake enough to breastfeed!  Today Ivey weighs 4lbs 9oz.  Ivey is 7 weeks old today, she has now been in the NICU for 49days.  I've been driving 20miles one way for 49 days, sometimes i go twice a day.  I can't wait to have her home!!!!
