Emma Update

It's been a long weekend. Emma's been very clingy. She's getting better, though.

She's starting to eat a little better. We took her back to the dr yesterday to have her checked out. He said there could be 1 of 3 reasons she's not eating well.

1. She can't breathe well because of the stints in her nose (they're there to help keep the shape of her nose).
2. She's getting the formula too quickly - she has a better suck now and is eating much quicker
3. She's still in pain

We basically have to just wait it out.
She did eat much better last night than she has since the surgery. I can't wait until she and Callie are back on the same schedule. It's too hard to remember who needs to eat and when. :)

We go back next Wednesday to have the stints taken out (yay).

Emma is starting to feel better - she's giving us smiles and she actually laughed out loud yesterday.

She's been waking up 1-2 times per night. Last night, we rocked her back to sleep the first time and fed her the 2nd. I will be glad when she's back to sleeping through the night again.

I'll try to post some pictures this evening. We've been taking quite a few pictures of her. We just haven't had time to get them off of the camera.
