Day 6: Sweet Gestures from Sweet Friends (5/1)

(Just so you know, I started this blog at 10:40am!!)
It's May Day and even though we woke up to a dreary rainy day, I am full of energy and happiness!  It might have to do with how much sleep I got, or being at the Hospitality house which is like a hotel room. I don't really care..I just love that I'm feeling good!
We got to the hospital for 8am feeding which Paul did....Shea rocked it out! Took all 35 ml. Afterwards we traded and I just got to snuggle. Oh it was glorious. Kinda like what it would be like at home minus these gorgeous blue aprons and wires.
After feeding Shea we have to feed mommy. We ate at the cafeteria and I was stoked. :) They had those french toast sticks, you know the ones we had as kids.....yum!!  Then we kind just hung out in lobby. They are having a community blood drive here sponsored by the Panthers!  Lots of freebies and cool raffles. Wish I could donate but pretty sure no one wants me re-admitted to the hospital. :)
11am feeding I tried different positions and was able to get most of the 35 ml but we did have to use ng tube for last few ml.  My brother was leaving today so we let him come back with Paul to get some cuddles in. My brother has been taking care of our fur babies this week. We are so blessed that we haven't had to worry about them at all this week.
My good friends, and tutoring buddy, came by to see me and Paul today. Sweet girl wanted to see Shea but of course we couldn't, but we showed her and her parents lots of photos. They bought me lunch and brought us the most adorable cupcake flower pot!!  Tons of people stopped us on the way out of Levines asking about it!  Bobbie you could have a second job if you wanted it!:) 
At the 2pm feeding, Sheas temperature was a little too cool for us to feed him by bottle. So we ng tub fed him. Paul and I decided it was a great time to go back to the Hospitality House and rest. I put my feet up as the swollen feet/ankles have finally come. #justcallmebettyflintstone
We went back for the 5pm feeding and he took 36ml out of 40ml!  Another sweet friend brought us dinner from Bad Daddys. And I totally got a milkshake. Yummy in my tummy. This same friend was our taxi!  We got into the Ronald McDonald House!! So she took us over their to check in and then brought us back. We will officially  move in tomorrow morning. Gretchen you are a great friend and super supportive. :) 
Another sweet friend and I have known each other for only a short time. But she is so kind. She is a LulaRoe
