Still on Day Zero

Avalon had another spell last night. So still on day zero of the countdown. I'm doing alright with it today. I talked to her team of doctors during rounds and we went over her progress from the same time last week. She really has improved. It's hard to see the day to day progress but if you compare how she is today to last week she is doing much better. I just have remember that. It's slow progress but at least it's progress.
I enjoyed cuddling with her a bunch today. She just does so well when I'm there. One thing we talked about doing is having me stay a night or two and be able to nurse her all feedings and see if that helps her. But her protein is low so they are adding a bit of protein to her bottles of breastmilk to rectify that so I couldn't exclusively breast feed her right now anyway. So maybe if her protein goes up we can try that. I am also bringing some of my older frozen milk from the days right after she was born because it's higher in protein. Plus I'm going to work hard on eating more protein. Hopefully all those things help.
I'm more hopeful and less worried after meeting with her team of doctors this morning. I hope I can keep staying positive!

I pumped right after feeding her today. She nursed just on one side (what she usually does). Then I pumped both sides. I usually get the same amount on each side so this was a good gauge of how much she is actually getting from me. Pretty satisfying to see how much she is getting! :)

She is still loving the reclining bassinet we got her. It's so nice and cozy and helps her reflux!

She is my little snuggler. I love snuggling with her!
