This morning before we met mom and dad I took Tucker for a walk while the weather was pretty. We found that the KOA has a Dog Park! Lots of fun stuff just for dogs in a fence where they don't have to be on the leash....Tucker seemed to enjoy it...here's some pictures of him in the park...
We met mom and dad at Cracker Barrel for lunch before heading off to the hospital. We got there in plenty of time for mom and dad to hold her before her 2:30 feeding. Here's some good pictures of mom and dad holding little bean!
Everyone got some good Mallory time today!
We breast fed at 2:30 today and she did great, better than she's ever done before, I didn't feel like I had to worry if she got enought this time, she ate great and then went sound to sleep when she got done!
Mom and Dad headed out and Ben and I went to run some errands while she slept. When we got back she pulled out her feeding tube. I stayed in there with her while they put it back in. I didn't watch but she didn't get very upset, so either Gloria the nurse is really great at getting them back in or it's just not as horrible as it seems it might be. I think getting the tape off her little face was worse than actually getting the feeding tube in her.
So, she took her 5:30 feeding through her tube. We are all anxious to try her orally at more and more feedings, but we just can't rush it either. Like they say, she will get up one day and it just clicks, she will wake up at her feedings and take it all. Hopefully we aren't too far away from that!
She's up to 2.095 KG today which is just 3 grams shy of 4 lbs 10 oz, so she just keeps gaining weight on a very steady basis!!
After her feeding and pumping, Ben and I headed out and had dinner at Joes Crab Shack and now back at the camper with Tucker again. He's going to wait and leave early am in the morning to go to work.
Here's a few more pictures from today:
