Day 2...

So he did relatively good overnight again. His feeding schedule is still a bit wacky, but its starting to even out at about every 3-4 hrs. We fed him formula overnight since he drinks that down like nothing else and its got a few more calories in it in hopes of sustaining him longer which worked for the most part. We're still giving him his Zantac every 8 hrs and Flonase drops every 12. Ideally we'd like him to be solely on breastmilk, but since he's so big and Mommy's stuff isn't fully in yet we don't have enough to fully sustain him yet, especially at his size.

Today is a kind of big day. He goes to the pediatrician at 8:30 this morning, so since we're up at 5:30 due to him being hungry, we're up to get ready to take him on his way. Hello big cup of coffee!

Its our first travel trip with him in tow so hopefully we've got all the essentials needed packed in the diaper bag. 5 diapers, Wipes, hand sanitizer, emergency premixed formula, burp cloth, extra outfits, vaseline, extra pacifiers. We're probably missing something, but we won't know for sure until he wants it or needs it right?

So far with having him home he's been pretty much like a normal baby. Despite not having individual fingers and toes and a bit of a precarious head its business as usual for now until it comes time for surgery.

Oh and yeah this will probably jinx us now, but we have yet to have his heart and respiratory monitors go off yet which has helped us get sleep when we can!
