I feel like things are starting to fall into place. I am no longer a weepy mess all day long and am really enjoying my time with Claire. She is no longer hooked up to everything like before so I can basically just walk in there when I want and get her. So nice to finally have more control over my baby.
My nurse today is amazing! Makes it so much better knowing that I am leaving the hospital with her in the care of a great nurse. Oh and did I mention she lives in Burnet, which makes her even more cool and makes me like her even more.
Claire is on average taking about 25-30% of her feeds by bottle which they say is great considering that she just turned 33 weeks yesterday. If you know my competitive nature than you know that I have little talks with her daily about beating out all the other babies in the race to go home!
I went home tonight to see the big babies and eat a home cooked meal by my mama. I set myself up for the kids to not want me and to be weird but instead they were upset when I couldn't hold them and things seemed pretty normal. It was so good to see them and to get to do our bedtime routine. I didn't realize just how much I missed reading Berenstein Bears to Carly at night.
Tonight I realized once again just how cool my husband is. We were in the NICU with Claire and he just talks to the nurses like they have been best friends forever. I was watching him hold Claire and thinking just how lucky I was to have him as my partner in this. I am a lucky lucky girl :)
Overall it has been a great day!
