Finley's Moved In Our Room

Another day of accomplishments as she has been in our room since 9am. I had to travel to Nana's funeral which was in Lakeland today, so Court was by herself. I guess I haven't really dealt w/ Nana's passing until today with all that went on this past week. My Grandmother had a huge impact in my life and was so excited about the birth of Finley. She passed away 12 minutes after Court and I checked into the hospital on Tuesday of last week. It is as if she wanted to make sure we started our new journey before she left this world. One amazing spirit leaves this world for heaven and a new beginning started here on earth.

Court is doing so well as a mother. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching her take care of Finley and love on her. Finley is chilling right by our side and we had to remove her GA gear after the bad game today. Let's just say Finley slept during most of the game, she seemed to be bored with the way UGA played. She wasn't the only one.

We are getting some rest tonight as we expect a lot of visitors tomorrow. Some pics of the day are above.

Halloween at the Hospital

Halloween has been experienced at the hospital. First of all Finley's friend, Charlie gave her a pumpkin hat stitched by her grandma. Second, we had some surprise trick or treaters-Eli and Sam.

Finley has a a good day so far and has passed her tests today with flying colors. She was able to take milk from Court and also from the bottle. Praise God! This will allow her to start putting on some LB'S which will help us get her home. Dr. Al Jabi said that Finley will actually decide on when we can go home. If she continues to grow stronger and eat well, we may be home by Monday.

Halloween Treats

Finley had her first taste of food, "treats", today! She took 11cc of colostrum. It looked like some rich stuff. . .I guess it was all of my frozen yogurt or maybe grilled chicken? That has been momma C's diet for a while now. Whatever it was she devoured it. The first 5cc were gone in seconds! We're going back for round two at 1:30.
