With the snow falling, we went to Hershey this morning, ready for our 10 am feeding, Mommy ready to put her little man to breast. The weather and driving was horrible!! We saw one accident on the way, 3 accidents, including one guy swerving then spinning out in front of us, on the way back.
Gabe was adorable in his little bassinet, we scooped him up, loving on him and waking him gently. Mommy got ready right away, he did great! He spent about 5 minutes total on each breath really doing a good job, then the hicci-puppies set in (hiccups) He was quite annoyed. The nurse gave him his full feed and vitamins after we were done, pulled back about 10 cc's - so I know Momma at least got 10 cc's down him! YAY! The snow was looking foul still about an hour later, so we decided to go before we were stuck. We drove home, it was a hair raising drive with the roads so bad, we had already had at least 4 inches to 6 inches down by this point.
We stopped only to fill the gas tank in case of an emergency and get some grocery items so we wouldn't have to leave the house. It's 2am and it's been snowing since we got home, The news is saying we've gotten around 16 inches total. yay fun.
The rotten part was no Gabe visit this evening because the roads were so bad.
I really hope tomorrow will be better and the roads get plowed so I can go and feed and be with him.
Tonight, Michelle, his nurse, weighed him in at 4 lbs, 14 ounces and he fed from a bottle with no problems, taking the entire feed. So, we have had wonderful progress!! WTG Gabe!
I forgot my camera, so no pictures today :( Hopefully we can go tomorrow so I can show off my "little big Boy" in his bassinet. I also left enough milk to feed him for 24 hrs. So, I am doing something with the pump besides getting aggrivated! YAY!
