Well I don't have much to tell you today. Things are good. We're continuing to go up on feeds slowly. We're up to 3 hours over an hour and half..but he's taking close to an hours amount by bottle. Tonight he took 45mls before bed. We're working up to 50mls. Tomorrow they will do the whole feed over an hour. But I don't think we'll be bottling him quite that much. I think by tomorrow night he'll be bottling close to 60mls. He is actually waking now every three hours to bottle, like a regular baby. The nurses still aren't bottling so I feel bad when he wakes up at night and doesn't get it..he's hungry :( He lost a little weight again, so they are increasing his total fluid intake to 80mls. He's using a lot of energy bottle feeding too, so that could be why he's down a little. I'm not to worried, his overall weight gain trend is up. Anyways that's about all...we're almost there and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. But we'll keep praying for strength as the "day" gets closer.
