How is it that so much formula can travel so far after being upchucked by such a small baby? Good grief. Aubrey is still taking her bottles pretty well, but that gag reflex of hers...Lord have mercy. She sucks the bottle too hard and *blurp*! Sometimes she holds it together and nothing or only a little comes out, but occasionally half the bottle's contents comes shooting out of her tiny lips at warp speed and lands, inevitably, on her mama's shirt. That's ok. I usually have on an old t-shirt just in case. Maybe I need to pack an extra shirt for me to take to speech therapy today when she has her bottle there...
I wonder what the speech therapist will have to say today after finding out that Aubrey has taken all of every bottle we've offered since Friday evening...

4:30p.m.
The speech therapist was really happy to know that Aubrey was doing so well with her bottles. She gave us some more mouth exercises to do with her and some explanations as to what certain things that she does during feedings mean. I guess we'll find out from the neonatologist tomorrow if we have to stay on this feeding schedule or if we can skip the 3a.m. feeding. We're hoping to lose this feeding tube soon, but we don't want to do it before she's ready since putting it back in sucks so badly (don't say "sucks," Aubrey).
