Saturday Night Special

After Claire's 10:00 bottle, I left her to enjoy some tummy time with Daddy while I emptied and loaded the dishwasher and made up bottles* for the next 12 hours.

When I was finished, I returned to the living room to find this scene:

Melts my heart!


* Making up bottles for Claire is an involved task. For each meal, she receives 80 cc's of milk mixed with 3/4 tsp of fortifier. For two out of every four meals, she also receives medication, which we give to her in a separate bottle, mixed with a small amount of milk (~30 cc's) that we know she will finish. So, for 12 hours, I make up a total of 6 bottles: 2 bottles with 80 cc's plus fortifier, 2 bottles with 50 cc's plus fortifier, and 2 bottles with 30 cc's plus fortifier (meds to be added later). Phew!
