So we got snowed in at the hospital. I "secretly" loved it because I could see Gesina whenever I wanted to. I got to feed her and change her. I've even started to see patterns and habits in her behaviors which is fun. We got a family room at the hospital which is essentially a hospital room. Gesina seems to throw up more now that she is taking the bottle more. She is more like a newborn now that she eats, sleeps, and fills her diaper pretty consistently! I can't wait to take her home regardless :-)
Tomorrow morning is the family meeting with the doctors. Hopefully I'll know more about what is going on then and will keep you all posted. Until then, I need to make a list of any and all questions that I can dream up! Oh, and I almost forgot. Gesina is 4 weeks old today. I'll take a picture tomorrow and post it.
The whole day...! That is so awesome! I know it was an amazing surprise/gift, that you got to see her so much more than usual....! I'm so happy for you, I can't wait to let everyone know.....:) We will probably never meet, but there are so many, Many people here cheering for all of you. Prayers, energies, hopes and dreams are all done for this Beautiful Baby Girl every single day...
ReplyDeleteKeep your list with you, add to it as it comes too you. NO question is too simple, no question is too small, they ALL count. Don't be shy or embarrassed about writing a few notes either. These folks are taking care of your child. They are doing what has to be done, so you can be a family. You're trusting them with your most precious Gift:) Think about the last 4 weeks, from the beginning and jot down thoughts & questions. They expect you to have many questions and you won't be the first to write down responses:)
I'm so thankful she's doing so well. You are a lady of amazing strength, tears aren't a weakness, they're a release valve. Hang on to every moment:) Tomorrow will come with some answers, maybe not all, but at least you'll have some idea about where everything stands....Nothing is written in stone, change happens everyday! Can't wait to see her 4 week picture:)
See if you can get a referral to home nurse services and any programs through the public schools for early intervention. These services were invaluable for my son and made me feel less alone when I brought him home.
