The answer is YES!
Good News! Lauren has been nursing! JUST nursing... we ditched the tube feeding after her feeding at 8:00 AM today and after some fussing and struggles I got her to latch on!
Yeeeeeees!!
I never knew they're were so may intricate details with nursing a small baby (as Sadie never nursed for a number of reasons). Thank God that He gives us the desires of our heart and He answers prayer!
Also, after talking with the Lactation Nurse, she told me that Lauren seemed to be doing well and that I could spread the feedings to every 3 hours instead of every 2. Again, what a RELIEF! It has been so nice to slow down some and not just pump-nurse-eat-sleep like I had been :)
I even had a chance to play with Sadie today! We painted with water colors and I also got a few cute shots of her making a play dough elephant with her Yamma Diane! Sadie has really amazed us with how tolerant and loving towards Lauren she has been :) The second picture was captured after Sadie so kindly tucked in a bunch of her beenie babies next to a very sleepy Lauren to "keep Lauren cozy".
It's so awesome to see how Lauren has brought us even closer as a family... like now we all help each other more and depend on each other more... because now we are FOUR :)
God is good!
