My little "Lolly Dolly" London...trying to hold off a nervous breakdown...

This past week has been extremely long and frustrating and I am glad that it is over! London is getting big...4lbs. 14oz! A lot has happened and as my dad calls it, "I had to put on my mama bear hat" and get some action from the doctors and nurses. In short, London did not like her new formula and Jason and I had to fight to get her put back on her old formula: Neocate. She is getting 6-8 bottles a day now and just has to get to where she eats all 8 bottles for 48 hours until she can come home. London also passed her car seat test...she had to sit in it for an hour and not drop her oxygen or heart rate. It was the longest hour of my life becasue every ding on the monitor, weather it was her or not, scared me and made me think she had failed the test. We had to do the test twice becasue the first time the doctor came in and looked at her and then she started wiggling all over. So...this means that we have jumped through all the hospitals hoops so far...only a few more to go. It was a long week because London was not making progress on the formula she did not like and we had to force her to eat it. Also, the doctors kept giving me estimates of when London would be going home and it went from the beginning of this week, to the end of the week, to in about 2 weeks. Lets just say I was near a nervous break down. I told the doctors that if they really didn't want to see me have a nervous breakdown she better be coming home before 2 weeks. We got the GI doctor to approve her to go home with her feeding tube in but the neonatologists wont even consider it until next week. I am trying not to get my hopes up because they keep getting dashed but I cant help it. For now...no discharge date...but we will see how it goes. 8 1/2 weeks and the count continues....

She looks so tiny in her car seat! She barley fits in it!
