Rebekah has had a fairly uneventful day today. We started out with a bottle at noon. Rebekah finished about half of the bottle before she was ready for a nap. She drank almost 30 cc's (30cc's = 1 ounce). Our 3:00 feeding was through the tube to let Rebekah rest some more, and we will try the bottle again at 6:00. She will have another tube feeding at 9:00 then a bottle at midnight. As long as she is tolerating her bottle well, we will be adding in one more bottle feeding each day until she is drinking a bottle at every feeding. What she doesn't finish from her bottle, she gets in her tube to ensure that she is still getting all of her required nutrition.
Daddy got Rebekah to drink more than Mommy!!
Don't. Touch. My. Paci!!
Trying to get the burping thing figured out.
Ready to go back to sleep after all of the excitement!
Today has been a fairly quiet, low-key day. We are just enjoying Rebekah and letting her rest so she can have another good bottle feeding. About half of the kids on our floor were discharged Friday or Saturday, so there are only five of us left in our unit now. It's kind of nice and slower-paced. I'm sure it will fill up again soon!!
Enjoy your Sunday!!

Yeh Miss Rebekah for tolerating more intake by mouth. That feeding tube looks so tiny and good girl for not pulling it out! No doubt those brothers (not to mention mom and dad) will spoil her rotten and rightly so. She is just precious.
