Eating by mouth!!!!

On Tuesday morning, we went to the hospital for another Lactation Appointment at 10:30. The best part about arriving was learning that Evelyn had eaten:
75% of her first three bottles at 11 pm Monday, 2 am and 5 am Tuesday
100% of her next bottle at 8 am
and then...she took to feeding from me like a champ and ate her entire meal!!! She was exhausted!


YEAH! After 48-72 hours of this we get to get rid of the feeding tube!!!!!!!

The rest of the day went really well. We decided to feed her through the feeding tube at 5, to give her a break. The night nurse said that Evelyn made it very clear that she did not want to be fed like that. She preferred to suck on something! Yeah, that means she will keep up the hard work!!!

Scott came at 8:00 and held her. I completely forgot to take a picture...but I have pics from the next few nights!

Thank you again for all of your love, support, and prayers! It's getting better everyday!
