We Hit 5 Pounds!

This morning Redding was a total rock star in the eating department. He was awake and took a bottle from the nurse at the 6 a.m. feeding, so the nurse wasn't sure he'd eat for me at 9 a.m. Well, he did, he latched better than ever and ate for a good 45 minutes with just 2 short burp breaks.

Then we got the great news that he hit 5 lbs. even last night. Way to grow, little man!

If he'll consistently do 2 feedings in a row by mouth, he can get his NG tube taken out. Then he can stop pulling it out. And he'll be on the fast track to going home. Wahoo!

Keep up the good work Redding. Can't wait to see you.
Hugs and kisses
