We're soooo close!

Sydney had a wonderful night!! She's taken every last drop of her feedings from every bottle for the past two shifts. I'm so happy that we had the time to develop great relationships with a lot of the nurses who know Sydney best. The nurse that had her earlier in the day promised me that she would get Sydney assigned to a night nurse who knows her and would take the time to feed her properly. It's not as if she takes an hour to eat...she finishes her bottle in 10 minutes just like all the other babies. She just needs that burp because of the reflux.

She had her Jamaican nurse last night and she spent a lot of time caring for baby girl when she was still in intensive care. I fed her and she did great. One burp in between and a slow flow nipple and we were done in record time. She didn't have any dips in her oxygen saturation and she breathes just fine. She's back with Nurse Angie today (same one who had her yesterday) and we're happy about that. Angie is the kind of nurse who calls and checks on her babies on her days off. She's wonderful.

I just love the way the staff works with you guys. By the way I am praying super super hard for Ms. SugarFace to be home on Sunday.
