A Hospital Update on Zoey

I am going to try my best to blog via BlackBerry so please excuse my typos...

Zoey is now 13 days old. The only thing keeping her in the hospital is the infamous spell count. Zoey has to go 5 days without forgetting to breathe... This week she went 4 days, we were asked to spend the night, getting ready to take her home... and then she had 5 spells in one day. I lost count of how many times I cried. I only completely lost it once though. When does this cycle end? PCOS, vasa previa, and a baby who can't breathe. Everything else with her is perfect. She eats a little over 2 oz every 4 hours right now and breastfeeds well.

Speaking of breast milk... Oh my goodess... I have a problem, but a good one... I over-produce. I can pump more than a day's supply of Zoey's meals in just 15 minutes. I'm not kidding. My freezer is too full right now... I pump ever 3-4 hours and only nurse her once a day... Can you imagine how much milk that is? In a day I have a week's worth of meals for her. This is definitely one thing I wanted very badly and I got it. I can produce 6-8 oz each time I pump so we're definitely in the milking business.

We have worked on decorating Zoey's room some more and boy is it cute. It's good to be home with my furbabies but when I get up in the middle of the night to pump instead of breastfeed, I feel like crying. I worked so hard for her and I don't have her... The hospital does. She is sweet as can be, such a cuddler... I miss her horribly when we leave in the afteroon. Eventually she will grow out of her preemie stage and remember to breathe. Right now it's just what preemies do.

I guess that is all I can update... I will try to blog more but right now I only can via BB. The internet is off at home until I make more $ again.
