I think we found a reason!!!

All of Alayna's tests and stuff came back normal, but when they had to grow a strep culture, they said there was something slightly abnormal with that. Not anything terribly bad, but enough to warrent antibiotics. They said it was probably due to my water leaking and the GBS. When they told me they were putting her on antibiotics until Monday

That is awesome!!!!!!!!!

When will they let you start nursing her or are you pumping? I'd pump and give her the breast milk instead of the formula while she is in the NICU, she'll keep it down better ;)

So glad to hear happy news!!!!!!!!

YAY!!!

I'm going to start pumping. They don't allow actual breast feeding until the day before/day of discharge because they want to see how much she's drinking per feeding. :( I don't think that's right because it leads to nipple confusion, but what has to be done has to be done. I have to pump and bottle feed her that way until she's almost discharged. :( Hey, at least I know I can pump now. lol That's all I care about. I just wanted to be sure I could before I did because my doctor was advising me against it. Well, apparently he was wrong. (My respiratory doctor...what does he know about breastfeeding anyway!! He handles asthma. lol)

Let's find a reason for AOL being shitty! lol

[artistiquemommy]

LOL!! I'm trying, I'm trying!! Let's all go to Virginia, where the main AOL place is, and start bitch slapping!!!! Are you in agreement? :-D

[ilovejustin621]

OMG I don't care what we do. I just want my mail back!!! lol Seriously though, what the FUCK is taking so long? AOL can't be this slow. They never have been before.

Joshua e-mailed me. Is that interesting or what? lol

[artistiquemommy]

Maybe AOL is shitty now. That's probably why whenenver I call there's a large wait time. :(
