Today was a VERY good day! Emma, for the very first time, finished a WHOLE bottle for me! She has done it for the nurses, but today she did it for her parents and in less than 15 minutes. Even greater, she was still awake and wanting to interact with us after she was done eating, which shows us how strong she is getting. We are SO proud of our girl!! IN addition to her bottle trick, she is also 5 lbs 6 oz today so she keeps growing like a weed!
We will go back tonight and let Daddy take a turn as well, and the tomorrow at her 8:30 am feeding I get to go in and try nuzzling for the first time, which is a precursor to breastfeeding. I am very excited! The nurses kept saying when she gets it, it would happen fast. We're hoping that this is the start of her countdown to come home to us!
