Come Home Already!

Our sweet girl is so strong! She is at 45 CC's for feedings still, we really need her output to decrease so that she can get more milk. Poor baby is so hungry. She is allowed to nurse twice a day now with a 10 minute time limit, no measuring amounts so she does get a super full belly from that! She passes out right after on my chest, it's awesome how snuggly she is! Please pray for her feeds!

Big prayers for her ostomy- it is irritating her skin and because it's so close to her belly button, her cord isn't able to heal. They've put in orders for a wound care specialist to address the issue. It's extremely painful for her, please pray for it to heal and the doctors to find a solution to make her more comfortable, most of all NO INFECTIONS!!!

Her camera bed is gone, I'm so sad I would watch her during the night while I was pumping. Unfortunately they had a micro preemie that needed the bed. Lord I hope these months pass quickly I want her home so badly. I would give anything to wake up to her all night, hold her all the time, nurse her whenever, and to have my family whole all together under one roof.

Nick has to go back to work on Wednesday, I'm terrified of how this is going to go between caring for Sophie and trying to see Emmie, pumping, things around the house, and eventually I have to start working again too. It's going to get stressful but I'll get the hang of it. Just need some patience and strength!
