She Will Amaze You

Well, it appears you can't rush a good thing. Ellie decided after 24 hours of oral feeds, that she'd had quite enough, and has now had almost all ng tube feeds for the past 24 hours.

Sigh.

I guess they pushed her too much. Really, she shouldn't need a ton of support while feeding (ie. No squishing of cheeks or pushing up her chin) she should just take to it on her own. She isn't ready.

That isn't to say she isn't getting close. But, we have to wait.

Little miss isn't so little anymore. She is 5lbs!!! Her colour is good, and when she is awake, her tone is great, too.

I confess, I am jealous. There's a baby here, born at 32 weeks, after Ellie. She is the same size as Ellie, younger and going home on Friday :( it is hard not to be sad about it.
