Evening all, thank you all for your kind words and support. All the tips are really handy, especially on the milk production side of things. So far so good, I'm getting a little bit more day by day which is encouraging so I'm trying not to stress too much about it. I'm not getting much time to rest in between visits and taking care of DS so its hard to stay on top of things but we're getting there. DP is such an amazing guy - I already knew that - but sometimes it takes these challenging times to really see just how amazing he is. Physically I'm feeling a bit worn down, I guess the hormone high has worn off to some extent. Emotionally I'm going up and down depending on the day / time LOL! Leaving the hospital is very hard. I feel like my time with her is so broken and fragmented which is really tough.
She is still nice & stable. They successfully got a central line in her leg a few days ago and she is starting to re-gain some weight. They are monitoring some gastro-intestinal things which are simply a result of her immature digestive system but being cautious all the same. She is still receiving my EBM but just at less frequent intervals. The bruising on her precious face is improving day by day and she is just the sweetest little girl. We had another nice long cuddle too and I'm hanging for the next one let me tell you that!
Must go and be-friend the trusty pump for the millionth time LOL! I will keep everyone informed as we keep moving along.
