Aubrey behaved well after her surgery and didn't act foolish. The nurse said she slept all night and kept her oxygen saturation and heart rate up. She's doing well back on her feedings too. She weighs a whopping 7lb 6oz now! We have a monster baby after all this time!
I, unfortunately, feel like I have gotten another cold. Darn this stress and the toll it's taking on my immune system. Grrr. I might wait until later this afternoon and see if some of the snot goes away so I can put on a mask and just look at her.
I guess today will be my last day at work for a little while...I work for the best lady ever who's really like another mom for me. She told me to just take my time and work it out and decide when to come back. I don't think I can stay gone too terribly long considering this job doesn't have paid maternity leave, but that's ok. When Aubrey gets a little bigger and stronger I can bring her to work with me.

6p.m.
I think maybe she was still feeling a little down from her anesthesia and surgery yesterday. I figured I would be too. Mom was with her for a while and said she was just sort of fussy. They only had her on half-feeds until 3 this afternoon because she hadn't had a poopy diaper yet and they didn't want her to get all backed up. They went back to normal feeds at 3 and 6 because she had been passing gas...I guess they figured it was coming sooner or later. They stopped her IV fluids and took the IV out of her arm; there's still one in her foot (nothing running through it), but, like usual, they'll leave it until it's no good anymore. I did get to go back and see her, but I was going to let Adam hold her and I'd just look. That didn't last long. Adam couldn't get comfortable and she couldn't get comfortable, so I asked the nurse for a mask just in case (I don't think I have anything contagious) and scooped her up. She went to sleep.

She got fussy as we were getting ready to leave, but it was about time for her feeding to start. She gagged and I think had some icky reflux come up; she cried a little and her sats went down. I wonder if having that tube put in and taken out yesterday made her throat sore and the reflux just bothers it more right now than usual. Poor baby. I hope she sleeps good tonight.

For anyone that's wondering, the get-together tomorrow is going to be at the Panera close to the Regal movie theater and the BestBuy. We sort of forgot there were two. Sorry about that. Oh, and it's still at 4p.m.
