  Re: Lil Miss Willa B Reply Contact  Thanks so much for the thoughts, vibes and prayers. They're working! After a few good days of being warm and eating lots, the apnea seems to have improved. They think it's just a developmental thing because she was early, and that she'll grow out of it. When we left Friday night, she was up to 5 lbs 8 oz, and her temperature has been stable. So I've been sleeping a lot because I can't get much sleep at night. Feed for 45 minutes to an hour, sleep an hour or if I'm lucky, an hour and a half. It's really exhausting. During the day between feedings I've been trying to catch up on laundry, email, cleaning up, and oh yeah, I have to eat! I'm thinking things will get better in a week, when we can try to get a routine going.  Is she the cutest thing ever or what?

I'm so glad that you're all home and doing better. I hope things settle into a routine very soon and you can get caught up on some sleep and have a little time for posting pictures of Willa on the forum. Until then though, sleep good and please do find some time to eat. ~ Cathy ~

  Re: Lil Miss Willa B Reply Contact Jan - I am so happy to hear things are going better.  Hugs and good thoughts still coming your way.  Don't worry, things will get into a routine.  I know it doesn't seem like this stage will never end, but it will!  Don't think you need to worry about anything other than getting weight on that baby and sleep when you can!  Trust me.  Nap when you can...don't worry about cleaning, etc.  Anyone who comes to your house to see the baby doesn't care what your house looks like and if they do, ignore them!   P.S. give smooches to Willas big brother for me too! A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. -Josh Billings Lisa - Charlie & Riley's Mommy

  Re: Lil Miss Willa B Reply Contact Sheesh my heart almost stopped reading the first post!  But I am SO GLAD she is doing better!  We're sending her Warm, Podgy Vibes all the way from the UK and I am eating some chocolate on her behalf as well.  It's good stuff. I was going to suggest Kangarooing with her as being skin to skin with you will help her to regulate her own breathing and body temp.  But it seems like that's a redundant suggestion now, thank goodness!  PS. William says he is actually the cutest thing ever, actually, but he also says (quite generously I thought) that Willa can share his No.1 spot just cos she is sooooo Blootifull.  "Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life." (Pratchett, Jingo) "I used to look at [my dog] Smokey and think, 'If you were a little smarter you could tell me what you were thinking,' and he'd look at me like he was saying, 'If you were a little smarter, I wouldn't have to.'" - Fred Jungclaus
