Boiler Up

Andrew had another great day on this snowy, snowy evening. Not much has changed. They didn’t do a heel stick to check his bilie level because it has been down. They will probably check it again tomorrow. He has gained about a ½ an ounce today, which seems small, but we love gaining! The nurse said he woke up crying this morning, so she attempted to bottle feed him. He took about 20 cc. out of his 38 cc. that he should be getting. So hopefully by next week, it will just “click” like a lot of the nurses say happen at 34 weeks. For the last two days, I have been feeding him in the morning and at night and he has been doing really well. Each time seems to get better and better, but it still takes a lot of energy for him. The nurse’s gavage feed him for the other feedings and for the rest of the feeding that he doesn’t take from me. I have posted a picture of Andrew with Brian…in the Purdue sweatshirt. He was rooting for the wrong team tonight, as they beat the Spartans.

Daddy says "boiler up!"
