Day 16...

Has it really been 16 days now??? It is seriously the middle of January already- insane!

Well, after a very frustrating day of attempting to nurse yesterday- and him sleeping almost the whole day- we had a HUGE accomplishment of 40mL's- his exact feed amount- last night at 9pm. Again, I cannot tell you how much it makes me want to cry with relief... it was followed by a 24mL, skipped one, then a 14mL, then this morning's feed at 24mL's again. He is so alert and determined when it comes to feeding now- we just have to stay consistent ;)

He pulled his feeding tube out again last night- is that a sign? lol. It's up to him when it comes out. Oh, and they started him on the liquid vitamins (with iron) - UGH! Talk about a horrible smell... oh well, it's for the best.

He weighed in at just under 4lbs 8oz- an awesome gain again- he's growing up! Everything else is just staying steady, not much else to work on other than feeding. Even his brady's were minimal yesterday- another big relief. He's just amazing!

I'm sure I'll update more later, but at least wanted to share the fun stuff of accomplishments :)
