Appointments 5-6

My 2 week appt:

Incision looks great. Everything is healing really well. I was cleared to start picking up activity, slowly.

Connor's 2 week appt:

As I thought, my son is a piggie :) He's been eating non-stop lately. He weighed in at 9 lbs 8 oz! That's a pound and a half more than when we left the hospital! In 2 weeks! His doctor said that's fine, as long as he isn't spitting up a lot (he rarely spits up anything).

Our updates:

Everything is going well. Due to the large amount of visitors we've had, I've only had 2 days alone with him so far. We're mostly on a schedule. He eats about every 3-4 hours usually. He's getting a lot more alert.

I haven't been successful with breastfeeding. I still blame most of it on the nursery staff giving him bottles and cups of formula. I have rented a hospital grade pump. He gets mostly pumped breastmilk with some formula if needed. Pumping is definitely more time consuming, but it's important to me that he gets it.
