Lilypie Third Birthday tickers

This is a pretty good pic of her tube feeding. They just get it started and then hold it and let graity pull it into her tummy.


They have Bayley on a pretty big incline. They think that some of her tummy issues could be from reflux which elevating her head could help.
There is nothing like changing a diaper with your baby in a bubble.
Today was just part of the typical rollercoaster. It started out really good. Our lil fatty GAINED AGAIN!!! She is up to 3 lb 5 oz. We are just sooo excited and a lil shocked. She is doing fantastic on weight. They have increased the fortifier to the maximum of 4 additional calories per serving. That is definitely part of what is causing her rapid weight gain. We are just so glad that it is working and working so quickly. They increaed her iron today. They increased her feedings to 27 ml. They are doing 3 bottles a day now. Our breastfeeding session today went "ok" typical of a 29 weeker. She spit up twice during the day today & had a large about of residual at the 5pm feeding (5.5ml) I called after her 8pm feeding and luckily she didnt have any residual. Her tummy is still soft and she has good bowel sounds still. She had 3 dirty diapers so things are definitely still working. This tummy stuff is just hard to understand because one minute everything is good and the next it is pukeville! Bayley gagged today over her feeding tube. I will be so glad when that is over and she wont need to be tubed. As you can see above they have raised the head of her bed a lot. This is to see if any part of her tummy issues are reflux that would help it. I am a lil nervous about tomorrow. I am going to early church at Roebuck Parkway and then going to see Bayley from 10-12:30 or 1. Tomorrow is my shower at church and I am getting more and more anxious about not being with her tomorrow afternoon. Brian is going to go stay with her for a few hours but I still wanna be with her myself. Sydney & Brian painted Bayley's room today. It is really cute. Anyway more tomorrow.
