Abby is doing well again this morning. I bottle fed her for her 11:30 feeding, then asked really nicely if I could start nursing her. How ridiculous that I have to bottle feed her, and then pump. The therapist was hesitant, but I gently reminded her of the importance of skin to skin contact, and the fact that I am still the mom...and she agreed. Good thing, because I was going to insist on it. So tonight I have "permission" to nurse her for 5-10 minutes.
Here's the latest picture. Sorry it's a little blurry, but the NICU is fairly dark.
Officially 34 weeks now!! (As of yesterday.)

Absolutely adorable! I love the nametag too! Good job mom, asserting yourself & what you think is best for baby. So, I'm curious, have you been pumping at home every 2 hours round the clock like you would be nursing so you get your supply up for when you actually get her home & nurse her? Did you guys buy an electric pump, or are you using the manual (I still curse at it in my head every time I think about my days of nursing/pumping)? Did your supply come in earlier than with William with the c-section? OK, don't worry if you think it's TMI. I'll talk to you hopefully soon. Thanks for your great updates! Love them! Hope you're getting some rest & recovering.
