Thursday

I took Ethan to Maternal Connections at the hospital to do a "weigh-feed-weigh" on him to see how he's doing with my feedings. He's 14 lbs. 10 oz on his naked weigh which is great. After his little feed, I found he gets about 4 oz each feed. Not bad. I was little concerned about his eating stuff since he always seems so hungry and his bowel schedule seems to be a little spaced. I called the pedi today since he hadn't gone in a week and of course after I hang up the phone he decides to go. All I can say is that I was glad that I was home and I'm glad I had nurses training in that sort of department. My mom heard all about it and I think she's the only one that really cares to hear about it. Anyway...I don't think we'll be needing that medicine she called in for us. Ethan's still doing good with his need food regimine and he's now eating pears this week (due to his bowel issues). The pedi said eating the "P" fruits help stuff. We'll see how it goes.
