I'm a machine! :)
Okay - I'm officially a milking machine. :) The nurses now want me to breastfeed all three girls three times a day. WOW! That's nonstop feeding when they each need to eat every three hours! I've been staying at the hospital a lot longer now...to get all of the feeding accomplished. The girls are getting better and better at eating every day. They've had less spit ups and are improving all the time! Addison now weighs 4 lbs 6 oz. Emily is 3 lbs 7 oz. and Hailey is 3 lbs 10 oz. So they're getting there! Addison also had a big day yesterday because they took her feeding tube out and gave her her first bottle! Woohoo! This is a VERY good sign and means coming home isn't THAT far off for her anymore. The dr. and the nurse said they'd be surprised if she wasn't home in 2 weeks. SO that's great! It all depends how she does....but that makes me excited! Also, before the girls can come home, they need to be off of the caffeine for at least one week (they've been taking caffeine to help them remember to breathe). And yesterday, the dr. took them all off of their caffeine to see how they will do. I feel like the end is in sight now at least!
