Last night we took Miss F up to see Miss M again. We made it a special 'good night' visit with Miss F bundled in her PJs and slippers and we'd gone for an ice cream treat beforehand. It was a nice visit and Miss F told her new sister she loved her (where is the video camera so we can show it to her years later to prove that, yes, she DOES love her sister somewhere deep down even if she stole her favorite sweater from the closet).I head up soon to try to get in a couple feedings and am doing the pump other times. And let me tell you, it takes everything in my power to get up at midnight and 3 a.m. when it's not a crying baby sounding the alarm but an alarm clock--one that can be turned off, snoozed and/0r thrown across the room as I go back to sleep. But I get up. I do. But it's sure is tempting to snuggle back into my bed instead of fa

Hi Mommy:
I know what you mean about a new ailment all of the time. I hope this is something you can look back on as a minor, temporary blip in everyone's lives. My kids always seem to fail the first test and go on to pass with flying colors. I have a feeling she will give you a run for your money even after she gets over these hurdles-but in a good, stubborn sort of way.
Let me know if you need help with the pump or figuring out ways/gadgets to make it easier. If you hook a nursing bra around the pump, you can double pump hands free.
I am pulling for all of you. Let me know if you need NICU company-I have been a couple of times before. Where is
Molly? If at TCH, there is a great RonaldcDonald House family room and I think some limited overnight beds for parents (but they are assigned based on severity of the child's condition. If you are at Women's, Brenda McIntyre is a neonatologist there, and a friend of ours, so I can ask her to check up on you.
Let me know if you need anything besides prayers! Also look into a weekly parking pass- you will save time and money.
((((hugs))))
