Let me rewind a bit.
Yesterday Austin ate like a horse! He ate more than 2 ounces every feeding and gained 50 grams! He now weighs 2070 grams, or 4 pounds, 9 ounces. He's been keeping his temp up just fine, actually getting too hot. All day they lowered the temp in the isolette and finally after his last feeding they said we could leave him out! He's bundled up so so tight. His face is all scrunched up hes wrapped so tight!
He has been very awake and smiley! I just love him so much!
Please pray he continues to gain weight AND maintain his temperature at the same time. THAT is what is keeping him in the hospital. Like I said before (and a million times it seems! lol) he does NOT have to weigh a certain number. He just has to consistently gain weight whilst keeping a 98 body temperature.
I've been doing okay. I have had some fleeting chest tightness separation anxiety moments here and there. It's hard to believe that Austin is almost 2 weeks old and it feels like he isn't really MINE. I can't wait to take him home! What will I do with him!?
Your daily Austin fix!
