Some days the progress sneaks up on you.
The first one finishes her bottle and immediately decides she’s still hungry. She’s not. It just takes a minute for the fullness to catch up with her — and when it does, she settles all at once. Out cold, completely still, like nothing in the world could touch her.
The second one just discovered wet food. As you can tell by the evidence still on her face.
A few weeks ago, these two were on around-the-clock bottles after aspirating on mom’s milk. Every feeding came with close monitoring, slow progress, and a lot of quiet hoping they were going to turn the corner.
Now one is sleeping through feedings she used to struggle through, and the other is figuring out that food comes in more forms than a bottle — and she has opinions about it.
Steady. Gaining. Starting to trust the world a little more each day.
The small things stop feeling small when you know what it took to get here.
This was a good day 😊💕
