ricevermicelliIn the NICU, they gave Miss Hotspur her first meal (10 ccs of colostrum) and she tolerated it so well and liked it so much that they plunged ahead and gave her a second helping a few hours later. She's on CPAP and mostly room air, but needs to be reminded to breathe now and again. We got to snuggle her for an hour this morning before she had to go back under the bili lights, but we hope that her jaundice will clear up quickly, now that she's eating. She had a heart murmur a few days ago but they can no longer hear it.
The nurses in the NICU say I can stop bringing breast milk in. They say they'll let me know when they need more. They suggest we consider buying a deep freeze.
I'm at home. I did some dishes and wiped the counters down. I snuggled with Danger Lad!, who sang to me, and played with duplos and his football, and sat on my lap and ate most of my dinner. I supervised the brushing of teeth, and got him into his pajamas (his grands got him some PJs with footballs on them, and he is enamored enough that he consents to wear them when he goes to sleep). Then I eavesdropped on the baby monitor while my guys sang more songs (Twinkle Little Star, the alphabet song, and Code Monkey). I snuggled withdanceboy and watched the last little bit of Galaxy Quest.
This is not what Amanda Palmer has in mind when she sings that she took out the trash today and she's on fire, but that is kind of how I feel about it.

Date: 2009-10-01 12:40 am (UTC)There is some evidence that antibodies in breast milk are more likely to stick to the plastic bags, and therefore not get to the baby. I preferred bottles for this reason for Danger Lad! and feel pretty strongly about it this time out as well.
