Quick posting. Cardiology appt went well. Different scale but no weight gain. All is stable from a cardiac standpoint, but this kid needs to gain! We have weight check ins once a week for the next 2 weeks.
O has had a harder day today. He was showing some signs of colic- fussy, crying, very unlike him at this point. He is sleeping now and we are contemplating deviating off of the strict every 3 hour schedule to led him lead some of the way. It is a hard decision because we want to give him enough nutrition. We offered him extra twice today and he took it when he was fussy. We'll see...It sure puts a different perspective on things professionally.
Quiet day at home, we had dinners delivered by some dear friends-yum! and Thank you Rudy's! We were gone but we enjoyed the note and food! Adam came by to meet little O, and we went to the garden to stock up his pantry.
Other than that we are doing ok, sometimes feel hungover with tiredness and othertimes normal but just a little fuzzy! Days are still running together and cant believe it is Sept! We are enjoying every minute at home. I took the bob stroller and Owen out this am. Let me say our road is not very conducive for a pleasant calm ride but O just slept on through and hopefully did not suffer any brain cells from the bumps. I worked up to a mini jog and it felt good. The push up the driveway was intense- if you haven't been to our house the grade is about 45 degrees! But I made it.
Can't believe I am a mom. Even after labor, even after all of the ups and downs and everything it is still sinking in. When we were going through all of the roller coaster and when O wasn't very stable I just kept thinking "This is not my life" Not that I didn't want it to be, it was just like I was watching it happen from above...that feeling lasted until after he was stable post-op. Now I am just running-no time to glance down from above:). A good friend once told me: "Come what may and love it". We are loving it!

Hi Chelsea, I had been out of town. Glad to hear you guys are doing well. So he is Mr Gas!! Both Aiden and Ryan did the 360 on me around this time too, a month or two and he will get used to your foods.
Sayna
Good to know. He has his good days and bad. He is pretty much an easy going dude!
Hi,
Sounds like things are falling into a routine. Have you tried fortifying your breastmilk yet? Might be the way to go.
Joan- we are up to 27kcal/oz now... Thx for the binder idea- came in great handy!!!
