Dear all,
I finally had a better visit tonight! There were still milk stains on Isaac's bed when I first arrived so I know he lost some milk from his earlier feeds. However, he didn't have a poopie diaper for me to change, which means he got less upset as it was much faster for me to change his diapers. Then the nurse got the milk to us pretty quickly so Isaac didn't cry as long.
And then, I fed him, and I fed him, and I fed him. Isaac breathed really well during the feed but he decided to take his sweeeeeet time. He would suckle a few times, and then he would kick back and start dozing off. This kept repeating until the whole hour had passed and he was still not finished. So the nurse came over and tried to finish the rest of his feed. Which gave me a chance to get some video! At first he didn't want to finish so he cried a lot and then he got much happier when he got to cuddle with the nurse and he finally finished his bottle (which only had 35 ml of milk!). If what he wanted was cuddling, our silly boy should have eaten faster and I would have been able to cuddle with him lots!
I also realized that I dreamt about cuddling with Isaac lots last night. I was really hugging him and it was such a great feeling. I hope I have a lot more of those dreams. ^_^
I haven't reported his weight for a while - he was 1,838 grams yesterday, which is just over 4 lbs! He still isn't growing that much length-wise. He gets measured every Friday and his length shrank this past Friday compared with the Friday before! We suspect that he is very difficult to measure since he doesn't like staying still but we sure hope he can start growing length wise soon as well!
Thanks for your prayers. I know a lot of you must have been praying hard for us for me to have a nicer visit tonight. ^_^
Blessings,
Sonia

praise God!!! i pray YOU will get to cuddle with your isaac your next visit, and many subsequent ones... and may the Lord grant you many such dreams continually until isaac comes home with you and jong!
I think Isaac taking his sweet time finishing his milk may take after you. :) Mom always says it takes forever to feed you when you were a baby!
Is it just me or is Isaac particularly cute tonight???? I am just in love with him and I have never met him! Sonia, it is so hard to have a micropreemie...it is the hardest thing in the world! You are doing a great job!
Hugs,
Susan
