Ahhh, the profound mysteries of life.
Dec. 10: To see Ella:) 3.4 1/2. SHE NURSES!!! :) Residual is a cc of my milk! (Definition time. Residual is the amount that's left in the baby's stomach after she eats. The nurse uses a syringe to suck out the contents of the stomach through the baby's feeding tube, note how much is there, then return it. Pretty horrible, isn't it? It's so they know much the baby is getting to eat.)
Dec. 11: To see Ella:) 3.5. Nurses more; takes 1/2 of feeding via bottle:) SO cute!
Dec. 12: To see Ella:) Just for a bit. She's 3.6 :)
Dec. 13: To see Ella brfly:) 3.8. Then after work. 3.9.
Dec. 14: To see Ella:) 3.9. Nursed brfly. (Son and I ate dinner at hospital. And DRESSED the baby in actual clothes. So cute! I've never had dress-up tendencies, but how could anyone resist this little "doll?")
Dec. 15: Ella:) 3.10 (I didn't stay long at all, just dropped off my milk because I was sick. I was so devastated not to be able to see the baby. I felt so awful.)
Dec. 16. Ella:) TO CRIB!!! 3 pounds, 12 ounces (lots of smiley faces)
And here's a final photo to show ... it's Christmas time! Isn't she gorgeous?
