Almost!!!!

Well, Malakai's almost there! He just has to work on his consistancy. The total CC's have been kept at 71 for several days, but I have a feeling it'll be increased by tomorrow. Malakai likes to fall asleep before he finishes his bottles sometimes, so that gets frustrating. For most of his feeding times, he's drinking the whole 71 CC's, but not each & every bottle like the doctors wanna see. Apparently, they'd like to see Malakai "prove" he can eat all 8 bottles in a 24 hour period....as if that's the way it is when a full term baby goes home!! I know it's different for every baby and it's getting frustrating because even full term babies are not kept in the hospital until they eat the way the doctors want them to. Malakai has no problem with gaining weight either, so thank God that's not an issue to meet for going home! Actually, the lactation consultants tested my breastmilk & verified that it's between 25 & 30 calories! It's assumed to be only 20 calories because that's what "formula" has...but not mine!
Anyway, things are getting so hard now especially because I'm home-sick & Leon's sick of being w/out us @ home. We need to be a family already....
I'm losing my strength....but I must remember, "For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2Corinthians 12:10.
