Day 6 in Jacksonville - I’ve been trying to find the right words to describe the last days and it’s not easy. Seriously talk about #allthefeels. Baby Maeve is doing great and being very patient with the loud, bright and noisy world. Each day her feedings have increased all with the hope in getting her weight up so she can eventually come off the feeding tube. That probably won’t be for a while but her mama who likes to plan needs a goal to focus on. Tuesday she spent “tanning” all day to get her bilirubin levels down. A few more diapers under my belt and got to snuggle twice yesterday! Oh and girlfriend got her hair done...can you spot the little red bow? Tuesday afternoon was a bit emotional for me as I tried to check myself into an extended stay hotel. I’m still figuring out what spending the next 2 months here will look like. (Here’s where I call myself out again as a planner and this was not the plan 🙂 ). I was given keys to two different rooms, both of which were already occupied - the second included a couple having sex!!! Insert mental breakdown, loooooots of tears, a new hotel for two nights and searching for a new place to stay. Thankfully that is all sorted out and today we’ll try this all again. The outpouring of love and support I’ve received from friends, family and complete strangers has been so incredible. It was and is what keeps me picking myself up each time there has been a stumble on this journey to keep going. And a sweet face over in the NICU is a pretty good motivator if you ask me. #adventureswithmaeve #extendedstayinjacksonvile #findingaroutine #niculife (at Jacksonville, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxhXg8zhGGy/?igshid=1tsgjm0m9ug7h
