Jac was a bit crazed today for a couple of his feedings. We let him go 4 hours before we woke him up to eat - since he had not woken up on his own - and he was crazed. He had a great deal of difficulty getting himself organized enough to eat. We have now adjusted our schedule to wake him up after 3 hours if he has not woken up on his own. Hopefully this will help him not be so hungry and crazed. We are definitely going to have to play with this after we get home to find what works (for now!).
Jac ate well today though and exceeded his minimums for the 24 hour period even before his last feed of the evening! He is definitely his father's son! He gained 20 grams today which is amazing to me given how much energy he expended eating with me. He was awake for several hours today - some of them fussy and some of them quiet alert - I call this social time - which is what one of his nurses at Children's named it many moons ago.
If all goes well tomorrow should be our last full day in the hospital! I am going to sleep now and I am going to enjoy it (even though I have to get up every 3 hours to pump ;).
The Home Coming- Fantanstic! He is putting on the pounds now! Can't wait for you to post a picture of him with fat little legs! All the very, very best-
