7 Pounds!

I can't believe it!...7 pounds already. And to think that I'd be so huge if I were still pregnant with Malakai. Woh.

So things have been rolling along. But...as Malakai grows & gains weight with the calories that the nurses fortify his milk with, then they increase his feedings by 2 CC's. He went from 55 to 57 today. So then he has to play catch-up with his bottle feeding goal to eat that total intake at each feeding. He's now at 30 CC's by bottle & 27 by gavage. Although, he's only 36 weeks gestation so he has a few weeks for his eating to kick in at full force. Lately, well for quite a while he's had some gas issues. Yup, instead of burpin' it, Malakai toots it....and BOY can he clear his bed-side. They give him medicine for that though, cause he gets so fussy with his gas. My poor baby!

He's getting so chubby, my beautiful son! We love on him so much! He still likes his hair washed though. Malakai's also beginning to coo...it's so cute.

I was hoping by Easter, we'd have our son home.........but it's looking more like the end of that week. We'll see....

Please pray for Malakai's progress

Also, please pray for our anxiety that's building up; 'cause we know the bible says "be anxious for nothing", but it's been rough.
