Tonights visit was a very exciting one. Jaxon weighed in at 3lbs today! We've been waiting four weeks for him to break the 3lb marker. This was a very big milestone for him and we are so proud.
He also took an entire feeding by bottle. This is another HUGE milestone, because once he is able to take his whole meal by breast or bottle he'll be very close to coming home. We tried breastfeeding tonight but that is still a work in progress. It makes him so tired to eat by bottle or breast. He actually falls asleep while he's trying to breastfeed and since it's time to eat and he's not really gettng anything from my breast he gets really frustrated and upset.
He also upgraded from a sponge bath to a tub bath. He really liked the water. I'll write up another post all about this experience and include pictures. I think Eric may have gotten a video, but I'm not sure. Eric and Dr. Stich were "shooting the breeze" so I'm not sure how it turned out, or the pictures. I'm so tired right now, so it will probably be tomorrow before I get this posted.
Well, our little guy is doing so well and we couldn't be happier. We feel so blessed!
