Day 2 of Nursing…went much better than day one. Evie was great for her mom and figured some stuff out and gave a few good sucks. Dad tried to show me up by getting her to suck on her pacifier after she acted like she was done with me. Maggie did about the same as yesterday, she wasn’t quite as interested at first, but eventually came around and I claim that she did get some nutrition on of it! (I’m trying to keep things non-detailed for those males and ladies without children.) However, I am quite pleased with their “practicing” and we’ll keep working at it. It is nice to get to ease into it.

Evie continued to have a few spells today, but was working on keeping her oxygen blend lower. Maggie was a little out of her element today as she was on higher oxygen and not near as feisty as usual. Maybe she was working on that growing thing. However, since she had a pretty good day, she got to have a bath. (I’m not sure if that is a reward or not, Dad doesn’t think so.) She didn’t cry one bit during her bath and was quite cooperative. We are getting better at this and now are “in charge” and get to tell the nurse what things we usually do and what we need to get it done. So we got Maggie all cleaned and lotioned up and back in bed for a good night’s rest.
