Ever have those times when it just clicks. Something just makes sense. The other night I was looking at Jillian's rash on her belly and thought that we needed to have something holding her tube in place for a little bit that was not so "hugging." I then thought about the really nice belts we were saving from kangarootique until she got her button. I was sad we could not use them now. Then it came to me. The belts have little "windows" that you put the tube through. What if we cut an ace wrap small enough to roll up under the window and use that to hold it in place. Brent cut the ace for us and it worked! This is my new best idea for holding it all in and safe. We are looking at ordering a few more belts from kangarootique!

On a side note tomorrow we go for the feeding eval. I know this sounds bad but in praying for a bad reflux day so they can see what the worst is like. I never wish pain on her so wishing for a hard day for her is a hard concept for me but I think a hard day tomorrow will overall do her well. Sorry babe!
