Things are progressing. Yesterday Max set a personal record latching on to mom at one feeding with 26 ml. He also proceeded to top that today in one feeding with 30 ml. He's getting it, but has a hard time staying awake for the 30 minute duration required by the nurses. Usually at about the 20 minute mark they cut him off and finish filling his little belly via tube. We're getting closer though.
Still no word on the circumcision. He was on the list to get it done a couple of days ago, but other babies get bumped up based on when they're going home. Should be soon. On another "skin" note: Max finally lost his dried up little umbilical cord today. It happened this morning before we got to the hospital and the day nurse was kind enough to tape it to the side of Max's crib pending our decision to keep it or not. (Hmph.) It didn't last long after we both turned it over in our hands a few times.
Weight. Yesterday: 5 lbs. 6.2 oz. / Today: 5 lbs. 8.9 oz. The boy's a machine.
