Just thought I'd let you know that Esther's first 24 hours without the feeding tube went great. She even slept for 7 hours straight last night. And, the greatest thing was that she gained weight! So we are just finishing day 2 without the feeding tube, and she did better today that yesterday even!
I'm really tired tonight, so I'll have to keep it short - I was up early this morning to feed Esther (4 am) and couldn't get back to sleep, so I did some more investigating on the lead testing and found that our existing products can be sold without the testing that will be required when the Aug 10 deadline hits - I only need certification from the mills/manufacturers of the component parts. That I am able to do, and already have several certificates already! Yeah!
For my customers this means that for now our Snap-EZ line (including all those cute prints) will still be available for at least another 6 months or so. I'm hoping they will come up with some exclusion for garments as fabrics are usually lead free (I've never heard of a fabric having lead, it's usually paints).
We are hoping to bring Esther to church tomorrow (but we aren't going to let anyone hold her yet, as this soon after surgery a cold could land her back in the hospital again), and I'm really lookng forward to going again as I've only been to church twice since the first of September!
And it was SO nice seeing you in church! Esther was so wide awake, but then, like I said, it feels like she should still be a sleepy newborn, but to think she is slmost 4 months! Whew. You'd never guess she had open heartt surgery less than two weeks ago she is so pink and bright. I wish Gracie wouldn't have been so fussy so we could have talked a little more. Oh well, maybe next week...and there is always the *nursing room* that will become my new pew in 8 weeks, we can catch up there, too!
