Victory 1/5 of a pound at a time

Jezebel weighs 10.4 lbs as of this morning. Of course, my scale is only accurate to .2 lb at a time, so it's hard to say how much of a change this really represents. Regardless, it's nice to see her weight go up instead of down.

Yesterday's feeding schedule got a little off track. Jezebel needs to be relaxed in order for one of us to attempt the feeding solo, so her feedings got pushed progressively later and later during the day. By the time we finished her midnight feeding, she still had one more feeding to go. So I set my alarm for 3am and did the feeding then. Michael then did the 6am feeding. Angie said last night on the phone, "It's just like having a baby!" I don't know how fair the comparison is. This baby uses the litter box by herself and never cries. Plus, of course, she's bionic.

Anyway, the benefit of having the 3am feeding was that Jezebel never got too hungry, so there was no sign of vomiting this morning. The drawback of course was that Jezebel never got hungry enough to want to try some food. I kept offering the Luv chickens (and the Luv salmon, and the Luv tuna) but she wasn't interested. I haven't opened up any of the other foods I bought last night--I just don't think she's ready. I'll wait a day or two before I bring out the heavy artillery.

We'll try to stick to a more regular schedule today--feedings every 2.5 hours. She's already had her 6am feeding and her 8:30am feeding. We'll keep at it until 11:30pm, then take a break until 6am tomorrow morning. Hopefully her stomach will be able to take the break. Hopefully she'll be hungry enough to try some food. Hopefully!
