Help momma stay close to my baby girl ❤️

Hey as most of you know my name is Amanda Jepson. On Thursday October 27th I unexpectedly went into labor at 35 weeks and 2 days. Now we had already known that babygirl was on the smaller size because i had been measuring about 5 weeks smaller than i should of been measuring. Fast forward to October 28th 7:21 am and little Ms. Myla made her arrival weighing in at 4lbs 2 oz 16 in long. The hospital i delivered at didnt have a NICU and the closest hospital with a NICU that was willing to accept her (2 other hospitals denied het transfer due to their NICU units being completely full with RSV babies). With that being said the hospital doesnt offer any type of help with somewhere to stay so I am having to travel 2 hrs twice a day since Sunday when i was released and baby Myla was transferrred. Im staying in MO with my mom while all this is going on that way im surrounded by family during this difficult time. My car was left back in TN due to me being on strict bed rest prior to Mylas arrival. So i am having to depend on my mom to drive me to and from st louis and back. It takes roughly 2 hrs and 10 min drive. Ontop of having to drive me to and from she is also having to work her normal full time job.

Theres no word on when Myla will be coming home. Shes completely healthy only problem she having is due to her size she isnt wanting to latch onto myself or a bottle so there having to feed her through a feeding tube in her nose.

So if everyone can keep my babygirl and myself in your prayers. If anyone is able to donate or willing i would forever be grateful. Im asking for donations to help not only with gas but possibly a hotel room to not only take the stress off my mom but being a new momma to a babygirl i just need to be closer to my newborn! Thank you all for taking the time to read, again even if you cant donate please take the time to say a prayer for my babygirl!! Thank you all so much!
