Hannah is still eating well and seems to be gaining weight at a good pace. She's so much easier to feed than Abby was and I keep realizing different aspects of this as the days and weeks go by. Of course it's nice that she eats at all. Every meal with Abby was a struggle to get her to eat -- and sometimes still is. We remembered Abby throwing up a large portion of whatever she ate much of the time, so there was that stress of knowing she wasn't getting food, as well as the added stress of knowing we'd have to start the battle of the meal with her all over again every time she puked up a meal - but not until we cleaned up the mess. We get none of that with Hannah.
It took me a little while to remember another way that we have it easier this time. Last time, we had to line the sofa, recliner, or rocking chair with towels so that the vomit wouldn't seep down into the cracks of the cushions where it would need to be cleaned up (with much time and effort) or else curdle even further if we missed any of it. Blech!!!!!
Then today I remembered yet another way that this one is making things easier on us. I was looking right into her face between tries at burping her and had a flashback to when Abby used to not only refuse to eat, not only throw up much of what we did get into her, not only get vomit on the furniture and carpets, but all over US!!! I have not had to take ANY vomit-removal showers at all with this one so far.
Yup, life is good!!!!
