Helping Hands

We're getting into a routine of feedings, and Hannah is graciously allowing us to stay on the 3-hour schedule established in the NICU. That's convenient, because it's much easier to schedule her medications and put them in her milk than try to squirt them in her mouth and hope she swallows. She's also been sleeping at night (mostly) so we've been able to grab a few hours of sleep between feedings. She only gets cranky when we slip the vitamins into her milk, and if they taste half as bad as they smell, I can't blame her a bit.

Hannah's doctor prescribed daily visits from a NICU nurse for the next two weeks, so we have a helping hand and sounding board every day.

Hannah seems quite content. Sleeping most of the time, but alert and well-tempered when awake.
