Finally Food!

Charity enjoyed her first meal at about 11:30 tonight (I know that it is 1 in the morning right now, so the date will not make sense, but it is still tonight to me!).  She drank 7 mL of milk within about 30 seconds!  Jamie got to give her the bottle.  Video and pictures will be up as soon as possible tomorrow.  The food seemed to settle in very well.  The only problem was that she was still really hungry, but that's a good sign.  She will be feed every 3 hours and I am sure that Jamie will be able to feed her whenever we are there.

As she was eating, Charity did pass a little gas down south, so we were very happy.  It was the first time that we actually heard gas come out on its own!  Yes, things were too tight to even let gas out!

Thank you for all of your support.  We love reading all of the comments.  They give us something to look forward to when we take a little break from our little one.

Since some people asked and I haven't really mentioned it, Jamie is doing well.  She is still sore, but she is moving pretty well.  She is getting to have fun in a wheelchair on the way to Charity and the way back to the parking lot, which is great in such a large hospital.  She is still taking Tylenol with codeine which is helping.  Luckily, she feels the need to take it less and less.  She still gets a little uncomfortable from time to time.

Keep the Poop Prayers coming!

  1. YEAH!!! That is great news to wake up to! And Charlie thanks for the update on Jamie...this certainly is not the way she had imagined her first few days of motherhood. Jamie, rest up and take care of yourself, your going to need your strength for the glorious homecoming! (By the way, you look beautiful in the pictures Charlie posted of you with your daughter)
    Take care and continue to keep us updated.
    Our love and prayers are with all of you.

  2. Sounds as though little Charity is improving as each day passes! Hopefully you will get that little girl home soon, where she belongs. Jamie, take care of yourself too! I'm sure Charlie is treating you like a queen (as he does Janice and me at school-lol) Thanks for the updates that you having been sharing!
