Thankfully my mom is staying with us for a week. Calvin went back to work and I'm moving around slowly. My mom has been taking me to the hospital every day to visit Eva. We're there for 2-3 hours. I was finally able to hold Eva on Tuesday and Calvin held her on Friday. That was such a good feeling! She is so small, but very feisty. It's crazy how quickly time goes when we're with her. Hours go by and all we've done is look at our little girl. She's amazing.
Miss Eva was fed through an IV for her first few days and this week she started being fed through a tube that runs from her nose to her tummy. We actually get to help with the feedings by holding the syringe that holds her nourishment. The nurses are really good about getting us involved with Eva. We have changed her diaper--that is tricky to do: a) with wires (that monitor her heart rate, oxygen level, etc.); b)through portholes; c)on one little girl who squirms more than you might imagine!
