We are all doing very well. Nick and I got almost no sleep in the hospital, as expected. My mom and Nick were so wonderful and took shifts last night to allow me to sleep when I was not feeding Zoey. I feel human again after getting so little sleep for days. But I do have to say the recovery this time was much easier. I was up walking very quickly and am already in better shape than the last week of pregnancy :)
Zoey is eating like a champ and has stabilized on her weight. She does have a touch of jaundice, which we thought we had avoided by great early numbers. So she is on a billibed for the afternoon and overnight. We go back for another blood test in the morning and hopefully will have beaten it. She is not too elevated, in fact just enough to qualify for the light bed, but given Sam's history they recommended just getting the lights to be on the safe side. It is still like night and day from Sam's first few days of total lethargy and struggling to feed with us having to supplement with formula and me pumping milk. We do not have to struggle to wake Zoey up to feed. :) I remember all too well having to torture Sam to try and get her to eat. We had to undress her and rub her back with cold cloths and things like that. Zoey demands to be fed every hour and a half to two hours and then sometimes takes a short break and comes back for dessert.
