My pumping output still sucks ass. I started Fenugreek and Mother's Milk tea. Going to add in brewer's yeast and Red Raspberry Leaf tea. I have found donor milk, though. Just need to somehow make room for it in the freezer shared by 4 adults...yikes! Also have a UTI from the damn catheter. But the antibiotics make my pee lime yellow, so that's fun.
Today we got the okay to feed on demand with Finn going no longer than 3 hours between feeds. I could only do that for a few feedings today before needing to leave, so we will see what happens. Hopefully no weight loss since last night. Tomorrow I will go in again for 24 hours and as long as we have a feeding plan that works, he could be home Monday or Tuesday. I need to get a lot done in that time!
He did have 1 Brady today, not sure if before or after doc came as we can't remember, so not sure how that will affect his homecoming. P is still not interested in him AT ALL, but it's another "we'll see" sort of thing.
Some pics from the last couple days of my boys, big and small.
When I got up to pump the other night I saw this. Cuteness overload. |
That is the light they use at the OB to look up your va-jay-jay. For him, a fun toy that makes shadows on the wall. |
First photo without his IV and NG tube, this morning. |
Caught this sleep smile right before I left today. Heart. Melted. |
Taken on the stupid phone (as opposed to smart phone) . Daddy holding him for the first time a week ago. |
Staring me down. We have alert time now!!! |
A week...wow.
I had some success if I took blessed thistle with the fenugreek. I had the most success drinking powdered Gatorade. They are both beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAww, he's too cute! Congrats on your new baby and I'm glad he's doing so well. Hope he gets to come home soon. :)
