We'll take Graham to get weighed tomorrow at the pediatrician's office. I sure hope that he is at least back up to birth weight. He seems to be doing a good job with his bottles, but I don't really know what to expect in that area- I mainly just nursed Josh and Lillie. We didn't do too many bottles. So I don't know if right around 2oz every 3 hours is good?? Hopefully good enough for him to gain weight! He is definitely still on "womb time." I'm sure he got used to sleeping while birth mom was up and active and then awake when she layed down to rest at night. Right now as I'm typing he is wide awake on a blanket on th floor looking all around!
Our prayer request is about Lillie girl. She came down with a 102.7 fever tonight out of the blue- no other symptoms. We'd appreciate prayers for her to get better soon- and especially that this virus or whatever illness it is won't spread to Baby Graham!
Thanks again for your prayers!!

I ended up not being able to nurse either of my kids (remember my earlier replies about supply issues?), and I can say that 2 oz every 2-3 hours is perfect at this age. Noah was a smaller guy too and he didn't do more then 2 oz until he was close to 6 months old.
ReplyDeletePrayer for Lillie that she heals up quickly and that Graham (and the rest of you) stay healthy.
