1600 grams today. He is still 3.5 pounds.
He only bottled once today since we had a photo shoot and left to run errands but he did really well with it.
He is doing well with his glucose levels and his sodium levels they ran today came back normal too.
They are slowly lowering his feeding times by about 5 minutes a day. They can try to do it faster but then they have to test his glucose levels more often which means lots of heel pricks and those aren’t fun for him. If they do it slowly they can allow his glucose to level out slowly.
My mom has OFFICIALLY moved in. It has nothing to do with the fact that we have been here 6 weeks now... she found a bottle of coconut oil and used it to oil our bathroom door so that it doesn’t squeak anymore. Thank you for being you, mom!
