Her PICC line is out!!!! Wahooo!! She is now eating 23ml a feed and is doing so great!
Today I gave Presley her first bath from me! She has had a few before, one where Aaron got to help, & then one where they offered to let me help, but I declined the first time. I know how bad that sounds, but she was so tiny & still so brand new with her thin red skin & I was scared I would either break her, or accidentally rub off some of her precious skin... So I respectively declined, but stood and watched instead. I was still scared when they offered me to help this time, but since I had changed her diaper & helped get her temp reading a few times, I was ready. She isn't to fond of getting baths, and fussed a lot of the time, but as soon as I started washing her hair, she calmed down & boy does she like getting her hair washed :)
Along with helping with her bath, And her PICC line coming out, they also let us try a breastfeeding attempt. I was really nervous that she'd have either a Brady or apnea episode but she didn't!! Not one!! A huge relief from Libby's bradycardia episodes she'd have during feeds!! She suckled for 9 minutes!! I'm hoping she keeps up the amazing feeding that she is doing, because man lately she has been such a RoCkStAr!!
Her Neo said I can so an "attempt breastfeeding" once every shift! I'm excited to try tomorrow. Today was such a good day!!
