So, my time finally came! Today was the day I finally got to hold Miss Brielle Leeann! :) I got to hold her for 3 hours!!! She was awake and looking at me and everything around us for quite a while, not wanting to fall asleep. Finally, she passed out after about an hour. Let me just say one thing..... this little girl makes the cutest faces EVER! Her little tongue is so stinkin adorable, and her facial expressions make me laugh. :) Brielle is loved sooo much!
Miss B is weighing in at 4 pounds and 5.5ounces today! The nurse tried to put one of her cute little hats on her, and her head was too big for it! Also, she moved up to the 3rd size of diapers, so she is now in Preemie diapers! Growing girl! :)
There are 4 levels for babies: level 4 is the most unstable and aren't even in the hospital where Brielle is. Level 4's have to go to the cities. Level 3 is the most unstable at the hospital that Bri is in. Brielle was considered a level 3 baby, but just a few days ago, she graduated to a level 2 baby! Yay Bri!!!
Big sissy got to change a pretty stinky diaper today! And check her temperature. :) I love that I am able to be more hands on with her now!!! :)
Jean received some pretty upsetting news yesterday. She has been trying so hard to get her breast milk to come in so she can feed Miss B, but it hasn't gone as well as she had hoped. They told her that her body must think that she had a miscarriage, and stopped producing milk. So, instead of Brielle getting breastfed, she will be starting bottle feeding next week. At least she was able to get some of her momma's milk when she was able to produce it! Every little bit helps :)
I found out that there is no set weight that Brielle has to hit before she can come home! They just want her off the oxygen and to take 8 bottles a day. So it is pretty much up to Miss B on when she wants to go home. :)
One more little note: Jean told me today that she recently befriended a woman that had a baby boy premature. She read my blog and contacted Jean when she realized that her and Jean's stories were really similar. I think this is awesome, because my blog helped someone which is what I was hoping for!!! :)
Thanks for reading! More updates to come :)
