Just got back from the hospital. DD2 did a full suck feed for a nurse at 4 am, then at 10 am we thought we would tempt fate and wake her for another suck feed, which she did (my first full bottle, wahoo ). We bought DD1 in to visit tonight and ummed and ahhed about waking her for another feed. Eventually we decided we would, but that at the first sign of tiring we would tube the remaining feed and not push her, but she finished the bottle! OMG three suck feeds today, up from two half feeds yesterday. I'm so nervous... if she does another one at her 10 pm feed, then we might room in friday. Otherwise, at this pace, we will room in Saturday or Sunday. I never thought the day would come. I'm faced with the reality of looking after her without all the medical help. Eeeks. I love it and scared by it at the same time. Also bloody scared of getting excited because she might be so tired tomorrow that she doesn't complete any suck feeds and I'm sick of false hope.
Sorry for the me post, just so much racing through my head, I needed to get it out. Dunno what to think or hope for.
