We thought eating 7 ccs on her own was a big deal. But when we got to the Special Care Nursery today, Anne was obviously hungry and ready to eat. She was wide-eyed, opening her mouth and sticking out her tongue. And when Mom offered the bottle, she eagerly started sucking down the milk. In all, she ate 20 ccs for Mom and Dad before the rest went through her tube. That's huge!
And when we left, she was an hour away from her next meal, but she was hungry already and sucking so hard on her pacifier, we could hear her through the isolette where she sleeps.
(She also protested loudly when Mom undressed her for some skin-to-skin time. We don't like to upset her, but we love hearing the sounds of a healthy, alert baby. She's cute even when she cries.)
I'm working hard to become astute at commenting on blogging. I've already commented on losing my first comment. I think these are the best pictures yet of the sweetest, most adorable, most talented, most intelligent, most mature baby I've ever seen. I can't wait to get to know her and hold her and be with her. Love you all three!
ReplyDeleteFinally, I have Malachie back over here to get me going on this. This is my 5th message--all the rest just floating around in space somewhere. Bottom line, she's just absolutely precious. Can't wait to see her--well y'all too.

What a great Mother's Day gift for you! A hungry, healthy baby! Happy first Mom's Day.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your pictures of Anne and Mom. She is surely a little doll baby. Looks like she is coming right along and it won't be too long before they will let that precious little bundle come home. Then welcome to the world of sleelpless nights, unless she is one of those very good sleepers right from the start. I am sure the grandmdas can't wait to hold her and kiss her. I am also sure that goes for the grandpas also. Give them a hug and kiss for Aunt Karen and thanks for the post.
