She's back to her original weight. She's doing really good according to her pediatrician. She already started getting bottled fed and I've had success breast feeding her.
Oh good! I'm sure she'll continue to improve and put on weight quickly. hug

Quote from nessykins :

they told me to expect her to be there through my due date, which was May 15th. Although, I think she'll be able to go home before then because she's doing so well with breast feeding.
Yeah that's what they told us too. DS was over a month early. He was in the NICU for 8 days. I only left that hospital once, and it was because DH forced me to go out to lunch with his parents.

I don't think it'll be until May for Olivia, I think they just have to say that to cover their asses.

Quote from chewspam :
hug I'm glad she's doing well. I remember when the princess and the dude were born. They were 4.5 and 4.3 pounds, and it felt like they were in the nicu forever. DW was there every 3 hours. Sometimes she would just stay all day from 6am to midnight and alternate feedings with them every 1.5 hours. Their eyes were covered, and they were under that blue light for the majority of their time there. I had to stay home and take care of DS1, and I remember how pissed I got that I had to use 3 weeks of vacation with nothing left over. This is why there should be paternity leave. Mad
DS did, too! He was jaundiced also and was under one of those for four or five days to get his bilirubin levels back to normal.

And I TOTALLY agree with you about paternity leave.

I think FMLA dictates that guys have to be allowed to take time off when a baby is born. We've had a couple here that have done it. You just have to use vacation time and/or get time off without pay.

I get to go to yet another doctor's appointment. I think this makes #13 since the accident. laugh out loud


Then afterwards I'm gonna go get a bunch of free toothpaste at walgreens. Big Grin


I wish I could trade you. I'd rather be in a lab playing with a microscope! :jealous:

Quote from jmegirl :

Or vec's case, you force your wife not to breastfeed because you're somehow convinced formula is actually better for the baby. Crazy

Quote from ashcampbell :

That's one of those things you can't really decide all by yourself... especially considering you wouldn't be the one doing the breastfeeding.

What, that all women should breastfeed? LMAO


Nah. There's plenty of evidence supporting it being the best for the baby, and I think it would be good to at least try, but I still think it's a personal decision.
