Today was a good day for Lillie. She got her name and seems to like it. She is taking about 10 cc's of formula and digesting it well with the help of medicine. They moved her into an incubator today, which I am told is an improvement, not a set back. She had lots of visitors as she usually does. Bubba Greg came to see her and we just hung out and rocked her for about an hour. That was the best part of the day. I am starting to get a little emotional about leaving her here. Just the thought of having a child (my child) stay in the hospital for weeks without me makes me so sad. Oh, and on top of it all Draven has an awful stomach bug. Now I have two kids I can't care for. It is all starting to set in and I don't know how to handle it. The hospital Chaplin came by today to talk about support groups at the hospital. She also wanted to talk about how I was feeling. That was hard. Now it is about 7:30 p.m. and they just kicked me out of my nice cozy room. I have been in a birthing room for the past few nights, now I am in a closet. They had a bunch of women in labor so I got kicked out and moved to a different floor. I am not even on the same floor as my baby. If I can't handle moving floors, how am I going to handle going home. Ok, now I am sad. Maybe posting some pictures of Lillie will make me feel better. I get to go feed her here in about an hour. Hopefully, dad will be here for that.
