Dear Baby Ethan,
I got to come and see you for your 9 am feeding today. I got to do skin to skin with you. You even started rooting around a bit. So you were on the breast for just a bit. At your 12 pm feeding you also latched for a bit and did some good sucking motions. At your 3 pm feeding unfortunately it did not go as well, you threw up a bit, AND the tube through your nose to your tummy came out! I felt so bad about that. I saw that it had come untaped, but I did not realize it was so far out. Then you got sick a few times. Then, we put your clothes on.
You had your first bath at 2:30 pm today! We wrapped you in a blanket and then put you in the tub. We just took out the arm or leg we were washing. You did quite well. You really did not cry much. Here you are dressed in clothes for the first time!
For your later feeds in the day you took part of them with a bottle!

Pumping
I started pumping last night at 11 pm. Since then I have been pumping every 3 hours. I have gotten a few drops of colostrum so far. Not much. But, I am also a bit sore. We are trying some different cremes to help with that. Towards the evening I started to get a more legit amount of colostrum!
We are so thankful you are doing well.
Love you,
Mommy.
