Pumping

8:35 am CDT July 13, 2008
Lilypie 1st Birthday Ticker Yesterday was a good day. Clyde and I went to the hospital to see the babies and spend a few hours there together, but then Clyde had to go home and get some sleep because he went back to work last night. I'm sure it was hard on him, but this way after the babies come home he will be able to take some more time off to help me with the babies and bond with them. Ella and Cooper were doing great as was Jackson, but they had said that Jackson had been having more brady's (low heart rate) and apnea's (holding his breath) and a few of those they has to stimulate him to get him to remember to breath. They ordered an EKG and an ultrasound of his head to rule out anything else other than just being premature. They did both tests and said that they would know more this morning. I just called a little while ago to check on the babies and Jack's nurse said he did much better last night. They ended up just putting the nasal canula back on him with no oxygen, just air flow and that helped him remember to breath, so they will decide today if he needed to be but on caffine to remember to breath or not. Ella is off of all IV fluids and takeing about 1/2 of her feeding from bottles and half from the feeding tube. And peanut Cooper is also off of all IV fluids and his nurse said he took ALL of his feedings by bottle last night!! Clyde is getting some sut eye and then we will be going to see the babies this afternoon and getting the full rundown of the night and day thus far. As for pumping, it is so tiring!!! I can keep up on the schedule for the most part durring the day, but night's are a diffrent story. They said I could go one 5 hour strech at night, but last night I set the alarm to get up and must have shut it off, because I got up an hour later:( I'm really trying my hardest to stay on track with it as it is what is best for my little ones and just the economic factor of being able to give some breast milk and not have to spend so much on formula. So we will see how things progress, I think everything is just catching up to me now. I really was not tired after everything untill last night and I just crashed. Maybe it was being able to relax after being at the hospital all day. My mom and Donna come to see the babies and drive me home since I can't drive for another week or two and took me out to dinner and it was nice to just relax and talk about whatever I wanted. Thanks guy's, it was nice:) Well I will update later or tomorrow:)
