Everlee had birthday cake at noon and 3 pm!
They plan on feeding her every 3 hours as long as she keeps tolerating it.
(Birthday Cake = 5 ml of Colostrum)
This was a huge milestone for us. We've been talking about this day since she was first admitted to the NICU. It makes us feel so much better knowing that she's getting the proper nutrition from her Mama. Which, by the way, is something that I haven't mentioned yet, that REALLY needs to be mentioned.
My wife has been an absolute mothering MACHINE when it comes to producing breast milk. It's not a surprise to me at all, because I've seen her elite motherly instincts on display since the day she became pregnant. Everlee will definitely have enough food when she comes home, and I couldn't be more proud of the beautiful women in my life right now that I get to see every single day.
A very special thanks to Andrea Carter for sending us a prayer for our special Warrior Princess:
"May Everlee grow strong and healthy with each breath, each moment, healing grows, illness recedes, grows weaker and fades away. Breath brings in healing energy, feeding the blood, healthy blood flows cleansing itself, renewing and giving strength. Lord, protect her while healing is underway, bring a healthy balance."
Reason number 10,001 on why we feel so blessed to have the friends and family that we do.
