so cute

Today was a follow up doctors appt for you, theo. Your doctors name is Dr Sasala. (He is a very nice man who always touches my arm and is very smiley and when I complained about my itching breasts he said he knew a lot about that and could take a look if I wanted. ha! Brady thought he just wanted to cop a feel. Later, the next day i found out he is gay and has been married to his partner for 12 years! He has triplets from his previous marriage which is what can throw you off) Anyway, he is so great. We really like him. So today we were sent by the cardiologist for a weight check.

I have been stuffing you full feeding you every time your eyes open just for this weigh in. We go to all lengths to get that milk in you one way or another. Since you are not keen on the bottle, I have been known to squirt it in your mouth or syringe it. Both take a really long time but we'll do it for your fat cells to increase.

Well, i am sorry to say that my toil and trouble was for no use this time. You weighed 9 pounds 1 ounce 2.5 weeks ago and today you weighed a mighty 9 lbs 3 ounces. I have got nothing left in me. The crazy thing is that you have been growing i thought. Like you kick and kick and kick and you are awake a lot more lately. And today when the first developmental therapist came, you turned your head from left to right and then right to left by tracking a picture of a face. So therefore I thought you were doing much better than the scales tell us.

So now we have a new plan, your heart surgery will be sooner. It was going to be in the middle of march but now it will be earlier. The pediatrician's office gave me a container of Formula which you will get tonight. Either through a syringe or a squirted. i am praying so hard that you will be able to gain weight. Fingers crossed. And you are just so cute!


And earlier today, during one of your feedings, Jude needed no entertaining. He went and got his baby. His baby Feo, and sat on the couch.
jude: My baby feo is crying
me: why is he crying?
Jude: he wants some milk.

Jude proceeded to climb on the couch, laid the baby on his lap while he lifted up his shirt, held it with his chin and then placed his baby against his chest to eat.

Jude: He is eating good.

haha he clearly has heard a lot of that lately.
