Garrett Made his Momma PROUD! (Day 28)

                 Garrett amazed me today.  With our second bottle attempt, he did MUCH BETTER.  First of all, I saw a major improvement with his suck/swallow/breathing.  He took at total of 22 mls. -- which is exactly what he gets in his continuous feeds during 1 hour.  While he was eating his stomach made a HUGE RUMBLING sound.  He and I both kinda looked at each other. I told him that I hoped that his stomach was ‘kick starting’ itself!  I have never heard his stomach make any noises before.  After the 22 mls, I put him on my shoulder, got a little burp, and he fell asleep with a full belly…………..for the first time.  AND…………drum roll please……………NO SPITTING UP AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  YIPEE FOR GARRETT!!!!!

                We didn’t want to push things, so he only did the one feeding for today with a bottle and is now back on continuous feeds.  But this is a GIGANTIC step for my baby.  Today was the first time his STOMACH took food and did not reject it.    I have teared up about three times because I am just SO HAPPY!
