Grow Bean, Grow!

Despite his blood glucose still swinging up and down dramatically, Bean had enough insulin to start putting on some ounces.  Sunday Jay was still feeling a touch under the weather, so he stayed away from the NICU.  Instead he took the kids to church while I spent time with Bean.

Gaining Weight
Bean impressed the doctors this morning during rounds with his weight gain. He's now 7 oz heavier than he was when he was admitted to the NICU. He didn't even start eating until Friday evening because they had to get his sugar under control first. 7 oz!

The doc who saw him Thursday, Dr. Z, remarked several times on how great he was looking. Grow Bean grow! I'm trying to pump and nurse enough so that he doesn't have to be supplemented with formula, so far so good. Growing baby = happy mommy.
