Hi everyone! Big gain last night! I'm inching up on that 5 lb. mark---4 lbs., 14.5 oz.!!! Can you believe that?! They cut my calories last night. This is actually a relief. That high calorie formula is what they call the "jet fuel" and is so thick that it's been hard to get it to go through the tubes and/or bottle nipples. This was slowing down the delivery of that delicious goodness to my belly, not to mention tying things up on the other end. I tend to get pretty cranky when everything is not running "efficiently".
When I'm cranky, I yell. Loudly. Yeah, that's right. Listen to me!!! So, I yell, so what? I usually do this when I my belly hurts, or when my nurses bundle my hands up so that I can't get at my feeding tube. I've been told that I can't be trusted, so I guess that's what happens. But I don't like this too much. So I yell. In fact, I can be quite dramatic!
But my mom and dad are happy to hear me cry and yell. They keep telling me how lucky they are that I am doing so well. Imagine that? I cry and they coo?! I've got a nice little set of pipes on me, so we'll see how long they think it's cute...even still, we are all looking forward to me going home. I can't wait!
Until then, I hope everyone has a very happy new year! Have fun, but get home safely to your respective cribs (this is a really bad joke, but my dad made me say it).
Happy New Year everyone! We can't believe that Jack is almost 5 lbs already. He is doing so well. We enjoy watching his progress. He is a beautiful little boy. We can't wait to meet him and to also give big hugs to mom and dad.
