And Sometimes Feeding Your Kiddo Looks Like This...
A simple sentence. No one said it to me in the beginning, but boy did that tube cause a lot of chaos. The NG tube graduated to the G-tube which morphed to a GJ- tube…. A brief history of Ivey's feeding tubes: *The NG tube was in place the first time I ever saw my daughter in the NICU. My only memory of her without a feeding tube is them placing her in my arms immediately following her birth. *The G-tube, well, that is a story within itself. That decision did not come lightly. Another hole in her. Another decision on our plate, but not really on our plate, it was apparent it was a medical necessity for her survival. Literally to give her a chance to live. A permanent decision. A 5am panic attack in the Scottish Rite elevator that happened to coincide with Dr. Meyers arriving at the hospital at the same time as me.... Our intersection in the elevator set the stage for the years to follow. From that point on, he knew I was a little nuts and a lot...

Ivey is so beautiful. I love the picture you have at the top of the blog. It was fun to watch her explore her silverware and her juice box holder (the red piece with the stars). It was also fun to watch her as if she says "Done with that for now!" and drops it on the floor. Does she still like her spin brush?
And no we dont have to have it all together at all times. Sometimes, like you said, slow and steady. In this day and age we are taught to multi-task.....faster, quicker. This is not the case when it comes to our children. :)
