Hey Simone,
Sorry to hear that you are feeling like crap. Having a premmie baby is really hard on the emotions.
Annaleise is doing so well, a gain is a gain after all, she could have lost weight. You will find she will pack on the weight now, with the fortifier. Ivy and Noah were struggling too but as soon as they started putting that stuff in their ebm they took off.
I know you think that she is helpless outside in the world when she should be still inside you but she's out now and she is doing well. You and she are both so strong. There are going to be lots of days when you struggle. I remember not being allowed to hold Noah for a week because of his breathing problems. By the end of that week I felt so withdrawn from him, like he wasn't my baby but finally he turned the corner and I got a really beautiful cuddle and it restored my faith in the NICU and in my baby and in the fact that their birth had happened for all the right reasons, just as Annaleise's has. You grew her to a great size for 30 weeks! I don't know what else to say, it's so hard but you have to keep the faith.
YAY that Kyla has put on weight and that she like the yoghurt!
You are right, you shouldn't be too worried. I bet Kyla will just take off soon and you won't look back!
AWWW thanks for saying that I'm a supermum, some days I don't feel super at all and as yet, I don't know if I can do work and seven kids heh, it'll be a trial and error kind of thing.
