Wednesday Update...

Not a great day today...but not terrible, either. So they fed Mya through her feeding tube all night last night and didn't try the bottle, like they had planned. So, Mya's physical therapist and myself both thought she'd do really well with eating out of a bottle all day today. She should have been fully rested and ready to rock. Well, her nurse said that at her 9am feeding she was really sleepy and only did about 2/3. When I fed her at noon she did about 3/4. And that took some work. She does really well for the first 1/2 of the bottle and then just completely tuckers out and has to be pushed to do any more. Her PT and I only got a little burp out of her while we were feeding her, so when we were done I was just holding her and rocking her and she spit up HUGE all over me! Scared the crap out of me! I had to change all her clothes. It was the first time I had ever done changed her clothes and I was sweating when I was done! I had no idea it would be so hard to change her clothes. I'm really feeling like a NEW mom today. She gets so wiggly when you undress her that it's hard to get her arms and legs in the sleeper. Once you do she just pulls that right back out! I picked her up while I was dressing her and laid her on my shoulder and she felt so, so little! She feels almost weightless! Anywho- lots of action today, just not a lot in the feeding department. I'll keep you updated. Were also really excited that Aunt Amy and Uncle Matt will be coming up to visit us this weekend. Can't wait for them to see her!!
