Plan for the day: Rest and no episodes
You had a little reflux this morning so Nurse Dina propped you up! You seemed comfortable and rested well in this position. It also gives your back a nice break too.
You're taking your feedings well and they even add a little human milk fortifier to Mommy's milk which provides you with extra calories and nutrients to help you get stronger.
Speaking of Mommy's milk - I've been talking with the Lactation Specialist and told her that I keep a pumping log/spreadsheet 'in the cloud' which I can access anytime from my iPhone or device and which tracks my pump schedule and output. I've noticed an increase in my supply and credit it to a rigorous pumping schedule and I felt my log helps me stay on track to maintain a healthy supply early on. She asked me what I do for a living because she said I was good with data and was highly organized lol. I was very flattered! She loved the idea of my log so much that they implemented a new Pumping Log for ther NICU nursing Mommies to use!
Uncle Vaughn and Aunty Suzie came to meet you for the first time and visit with Mommy and Daddy!
And as an added bonus, Aunty Dina let us "unofficially" off the record sprint with you without your CPAP, lol. She said if anyone asked, we were just rubbing your head LOL. When Aunty Shari came on duty, you were doing so well she asked to get it on the record. So we did and you made it for the three full hours! So proud of you, son!
Here you are with Daddy and he just adores you so. "I never knew how much I loved your father until I saw how much he loved you."
We have a big day tomorrow, Maverick! We love you baby boy! XOXO
