Georgia didn't gain any weight last week and that had everyone crazy. The dietian told me add oatmeal, the nurse said that would clog the tube, another doc said coconut oil. I was so confused by the end of last week. Randomly at church this lady comes up and she's speaking my new language to me. "How are her feeds going? Oh, how great she can do bollus! I'm like wait, are you a nurse? No I'm a dietitian!!! Just who I would love to have a convo with today, thank you! So she tells me, why not add olive oil? It has all good fats, a lot of minerals they need, helps with constipation. So I run it by docs and dietitian and they love the idea and she gained half a pound this week. I'm grateful that lady was put in my path and I'm ready for some dang doctors who know what they're doing!!!!
I've been pumping for six months straight and this week when I was complaining one nurse said, I know a lady who pumped for two years for her tenth child. Well,,,,guess what,,,I'm not going that far!! I pray I can make it to a year, then Georgia better decide to swallow and drink some cow milk like the rest of us! I say this, but I'm a little worried if they say its best for her, I will end up pumping until she's ten. Haha! No! On this exclusive pumping web site they have these awards they give to themselves for each month they pump, they'll say, I have bronze boobs with silver nipples. I need to ask someone what my award is after six months, silver boobs maybe?!?! Can I make it to gold?!?
Georgia is starting to vocalize & laugh. So thankful for the little, but strong voice that comes out of her. She's a sweet tempered baby, but will put you in your place quick now that she's learned her angry scream! Ah, gotta love girls!
I'm still struggling with patience with my older kids. My friend told me never pray for patience or you'll get more lessons to help you learn, so when I pray I try to avoid asking for patience ;). I do ask to be able to meet all their needs and for me to be able to be kind and gentle. I was proud of myself this week, they all did chores ALMOST everyday. So funny, they love chore time. I played with cash a lot in the mornings. They watched tv a little less this week. We're getting there! I can feel myself coming back, getting my grasp on life again, slowly.
Oh, and the best, her ped has been hesitant to say she's out of the woods and today he basically said so. He was so impressed with her development. He said, I actually have no medical reasoning about what's happening here, but I do have some Divine answers. Yep, Georgia's a walking, talking miracle! Proving each doctor wrong with every day she lives past six months! Every time she coo's. Every milestone she hits!
