Update on Layla 8/11

Yesterday was a pretty good day, our sweet girl has started to show interest in eating again! She took a bottle at several of her feeds and even though she didn't finish her bottle, she did take more than half of her required amount each time. She also nursed from mom for about 15 minute which was awesome! Eat little one, eat! Layla's bilirubin number dropped to <9 which means she gets a chance to show us her liver function off her lights. Here's to hoping she can keep it down!

I spent several hours with Layla doing skin to skin and snuggling. She was pretty smiley yesterday and although I know it's just a reflex, I think she was pretty happy all day long.

Layla got to hang out with dad last night again while he studied for several hours which makes me feel much better at night. Just knowing one of us is by her side is extremely comforting.
