Out of town

Good day folks, I was out of town for several days last week, but as you can see from the previous posts Brinson did not stop growing, eating, crying and making all of us happy.

These days we are not really comfortable having her sleep in her crib. So she is sleeping in the living room. Mommy takes the first shift and I wake her at 330am for the second shift. The reason for the concern is she is very spit up prone every since we have shifted from continuous feed to bottle/syringe. She is being forced to have 75cc in her gut in 1 hour vs the 3 hours before the surgery.

The good news is she is getting better and better. She can do 75cc several feedings in a row sometimes and doing most of it by bottle/ But other times she gets behind and is not able to drink by bottle or syringe the 75cc. Just too tired and/or full.

After loosing 1lb during the week in the hospital for surgery, Brinson has now gained all of it back.

Updates will go back to normal.....

Eating and Sleeping

The syringe in the photo is used for whatever she does not finish by bottle.

Bumbos away!!!

Brinson is learning how to sit up and she has a habit (we are trying to break her of it) of leaning her head a certain way.

Yummy!

Mommy made an executive decision and decided to mix a bit of rice cereal with her normal formula. Obviously she loved it. See!!!!













After my meal I just love to play!

Outing with Brinson

Brinson is still on restrictive contact with the outside world so our first outing (besides our hurricane party at Uncle Mike & KD's) had to be with family. So we packed in the car and went to Nana and Grampa's.

First time Brinson sucked down 2oz by bottle.


Nana and Brinson. And there is Nana in the photo, for her Great Grandmother's 88th birthday.


I am going through old photos.


Grampa is watching Jazz and trying to catch some Zzzzz


Here is Abuelo, just hanging out.

Back at home after 1 week

Mommy and Daddy are exhausted from staying the hospital for 1 week. It was not restful at all. People coming in and out all day and night.

And to top it off we have a new feeding schedule with the bottles that we all have to get used to ....so that means more hours awake and less asleep.

But now we are at home now and there is nothing like your own bed and environment. I got less hours of sleep last night, but I slept much better.....because it was my own bed and it was uninterrupted. That makes a heck of difference.

It is bottle time!

Brinson is starting to grab and hold on to the bottle. We have a lot of work. She starts out pretty good, but gets tired and is not able to drink by bottle alone. She has a feeding tube for the remainder. We are still working all the details out.

We definitely know what Milk drunk is. It is pretty funny. She drinks and her eyes roll back in her head. I have to tickle her at nite to get her to drink.....another pretty funny thing....when she is asleep there is not much that can wake her.
