FIRST time holding her!! She was one week old!
Hi everyone! Been a long time huh?!
Well, my little girl is doing good! She is 3lbs 12 oz now, but still no hope of coming home for a while. She is unable to tolerate the breastmilk I have been pumping for the last 6 weeks (UGH!!!) and has been switched to Alimentum, and doing great. I have decided to stop pumping, and it has been a terribly hard decision to make. But, it is taking a toll on not only my body, but my emotions.
My dr. changed me from Wellbutrin to Zoloft, and I can already notice the difference! I was having a ROUGH time, and I was sure I was going to lose my mind, along with my husband. :cry: It has been a long 6 weeks (YES! She is 6 weeks old!!) and I am so tired!
So, on to the title of the topic! We are officially in the Ronald McDonald House now and it is AMAZING! We were told this is the largest in the nation, housing 80 families! We are so blessed to be less than 10 minutes away from Rae, versus the 2 hours it is from home. I plan on staying for a little while. Elijah is with my parents, and will be visiting me a few times on the weekend. While I know that being away from him is hard, I miss my baby girl so much and I only get to see her 1 time a week, and it is killing me. I can't wait to post pics! She is getting chunky! Ask me how a 3lb baby can look chunky, and I will SHOW you the pics!!! :)
Anyways, I just wanted to give a little update, and say hi! I miss being here, and hopefully I'll have more time now!
