We made it. Feed number three for the evening. Some snap shots from earlier…
“If we come in and find you guys sleeping with the baby in the bed with you, yeah, we pretty much take the kid back” – our nurse giving us an idea of the bottom of the preemie graduation test bell curve.
“Only 10 (mls of 55 in the bottle)? What’s the deal tonight, I mean, this morning?” Lisa attempting to start a dialog with Luca, revealing a certain confusion as to time. Luca, surprisingly, chose not to answer.
“It’s a good thing you seem to be able to burp yourself kid.” Lisa, commenting on Luca’s apparent mastery of gaseous functions.
So… it’s now 5:45… Luca seems to be on track for another successful feed. At 6am, our nurse is set to come in and weigh him… fingers crossed we’re going to get past the finish line with flying colors.
Awesome! I hope Luca’s first experience outside of the hospital is memorable!
