Little Miss Bayley

Lilypie Third Birthday tickers

Thursday, June 21, 2007




Today was ok and not so ok. Bayley stayed the same in weight 3 lb 1.2 oz. When I called at 5am the nurse said that Dr. Mena had agreed for Bayley to have an additional bottle last night to give her more practice. She took the bottle down in 30 minutes and the nurse rated her as "fair". She took her bottle at 2pm today and she did a little better on it. She finished it in 25 minutes and only set the alarms off a couple of times. Amanda, her nurse, only had to hold her chin some but not all the time. Bayley burped 3 different times for Amanda which was the first time they have ever gotten her to burp. After her 2pm bottle I got to hold her for about 30 minutes. She was so sweet & stayed awake and looked at me and we talked for the whole 30 minutes. After our cuddle time she never seemed comfortable again. She dirtied a BIG diaper... lol Poop is good! I changed her but she never seemed to settle down. She basically stayed awake until almost 5 and bowed her back a lot and acted like her tummy was hurting. She isnt a crying baby at all and hardly ever fusses so Amanda was as baffled as me over why she was so fussy. Before her 5pm feeding amanda checked for residual and she had a lot 5ml but she had good bowel sounds and her tummy felt ok to Amanda. Her 5pm feeding was with the feeding tube and it went fine. We left a few minutes early tonight 5:30 so that we could go to camp for skit night and see Sydney. I called Amanda before she left at 7 and she sad that she told Dr. DiCarlo about Bayley being so fussy and the residual. He examined Bayley hisself and he agreed she was ok but did say that he was going to recheck her tonight after her 8 and 11pm feedings to see if there was any change. Hopefully it was just a tummy ache or a lil gas and not a sign of anything bigger. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better tummy day for Bayley. Dr. DiCarlo had planned to up her feedings to 26ml tonight but we will see tomorrow if he went ahead with those plans after the tummy ache. Camp tonight was fun. It was sooo good seeing Sydney. She looked great. She seemed like she was having a great time! Their skit was funny. Sydney comes home TOMORROW & I cant wait!!!!! She drives me nuts 1/2 the time but I love every minute of it. More tomorrow.
