Things ARE better (updated)!
I think we have reached the point where I can start to relax and enjoy Jillian (and all of the kids again)! Her doctor was pleased with her weight gain when we were there this morning. Last Tuesday she was 6lbs 14oz and today she was 7lbs 7oz. I take her back next Friday for another weight check but I am really glad our doctor was happy with her weight and how she looks (she looks so much better and is a lot more alert now). I am still using the breastpump after most feedings, giving her bottles if she is still hungry after breast feeding and I have to coax her to eat sometimes when its been more than 3 hours but things are looking up and now I can stop stressing so much. I can sleep some more too and that is huge. I will have to get some pictures up on the computer later today but before I take them off the camera I want to take a few more now that she is looking so much healthier.
*Well I added some pictures! Unfortunately there is always something, Ethan had to come home early from school with pink eye AGAIN! Ben and Jamie’s eyes aren’t looking very good either but our doctor changed their prescriptions and I’m hoping that will clear things up quickly since their eyes had gotten better last week. We got our new wood burning stove insert today and it looks great and tomorrow the wood comes so that will be great! In all things are still sooo much better!















Thanks for sharing the good news:-)
Glad things are going well. It’s exciting that she gained so much weight.
Wonderful! (And she’s beautiful!)
Have you tried a product called the Lactaid (supplemental nursing system)? It’s what I had to use with a couple of my slow gainers. It works to increase milk supply while supplementing.
