Doing Normal Baby Things
It’s great to see Katie Rose doing normal baby things. She’s still monitored and in the NICU, still on supplemental oxygen, and still gets most of her calories via a feeding tube. That said, she breast feeds, drinks from a bottle, burps, poops, and goes to sleep on the drop of a dime—just like a normal full-term baby.
Yesterday, I got to feed Katie a bottle. I loved looking at her eyes, with her little fingers touching my hand as I fed her.
After she had drunk her fill, Phyllis held Katie Rose on her shoulder and helped her burp.
Katie Rose looks so plump and happy, just like a normal baby doing normal baby things.
