Spencer 2 weeks old

Spencer was 2 weeks old on Thursday and would be 38 weeks today if I was still pregnant. The gestational age is really more what they go by at the hospital as far as measuring development. Today the doctor decided that he was ready for 4 nipple feedings a day which means they will give him a bottle or I will breastfeed every 6 hours and he will get fed through his tube in between. The dr. seems to think that this might give him a boost to start really motivating to finish the bottles and get out of there. We are up for trying anything! So far so good too. This morning he ate 25 ml from me which is a breastfeeding record to date. And at his next bottle feeding he ate 50 ml which is only 5 ml shy from completion. We just hope this pattern continues and we get to add more bottles quickly. We are also going to go ahead and get him circumcised this week which is one more thing that has to be done before we leave. I like getting things checked off the list and feeling like we are getting closer to getting our baby home.
