UGH!! I'm getting aggrivated.
Monday when I went to visit Alayna, they told me that she could definitely come home on Tuesday. So I was so excited! I mean, she was eating more than 3 oz's every 4 hours and finishing it by mouth, she was done with the antibiotics, etc... So I went home and decorated the front of the house and everything. We told everyone, almost everyone was coming over to see the baby too, and I was just ecstatic!! Well yesterday morning I was getting ready, her nursery was ready and everything was perfect!! Around 11 am I get a phone call from her doctor telling me that she's sorry, but Alayna can't go home today because she ISNT GAINING THAT MUCH WEIGHT. The thing was, when they put her on the antibiotics for the infection, I think they said it was the ampicilin, they had to stop bottle feeding her and use IV fluids. So then is when she probably lost the weight. So she said if she keeps her weight up for two days consecutively, she can go home. (Thursday probably) I broke down and just started hysterically crying. I mean, I couldn't take it. I just hit a breaking point.
So last night I call when I get home from visiting her, and they said that when they weighed her at night, she gained 2 oz's. So this means that tonight, if she gains weight (Any amount) she can go home tomorrow. :) I'm not getting my hopes up, though, because if I do I know I'll be let down. So I'm jst going to treat tomorrow as any other day. :)
I'm praying and hoping that she gains weight tonight. She's taking enough formula to gain weight, so...that's good. :) Hopefully if she goes home tomorrow the lactation consultant could be in so I could talk to her about breast feeding...if not I have to come allll the way back another day. lol
Well, today is my own doctor's appointment. (After birth follow up.) They usually do it 6 weeks after birth, but since I got induced because of Pre-E/PIH and I had gestational diabetes [Well if I had a 8lb7oz baby at almost 37 weeks...lol Its just obvious to others!] they want to see me 2 weeks after her birth. I have to have another GTT to see if I'm still diabetic or if it iwas only GD. I'm hoping it was only GD, but my birthmom is diabetic, so I am at risk. *shrugs* I don't think I am anymore, though.
