A Great Day

Today we spent several hours at the hospital. He has been keeping down all his feedings. The only time he spits up a little is when they do a rectal irrigation right before they feed him. So they are gonna try to not do the irrigation thing right before the feed him. I think it kinda upsets his stomach. So we got there at 2 which was right after one of his feedings. We took a onesie up there so he could actually wear some clothes. We barely got it over his head when he spit up all over it! So we just decided he could stay naked for a while. I think another reason he spit up that time is because they gave him formula instead of my milk. She said they were out but she just didn't look in the freezer. When she looked, she found it. So he barely got used to the breast milk and they gave him formula so I don't think he liked it. But since then, he's kept everything down. He's even pooping a little bit too. The Dr. seemed impressed and said he just needs to keep it up for a few days in order to go home. They increased his feedings to 1 oz every 3 hours. She wants him to be eating 2-3 oz every feeding before he goes home. So maybe she'll increase it a little more tomorrow.She also let me try to nurse today but he wasn't too interested yet. It wasn't time for him to eat but I had to pump so we tried. He just slept. Hopefully he'll get the hang of it when he comes home. So Jared was super dad today. He changed his diaper, fed him and held him most of the time we were there. He's so good with him. Even the nurse said yesterday that he was very good with him. So we're counting down the days. Hopefully he'll continue to do good and he can come home soon. I'm posting lots of pictures. Enjoy.
