1. Nana and Papa (Mary and Tim) came with Gina for a visit with Liam. He had a great time hanging out with them and we appreciated the extra help with feedings, cleaning, naps and meals.
2. Liam switched over to his BumGenius on 4/2 in the morning. He was through with the meconium and that means we didn't need to lube up his bottom with olive oil anymore so we made the switch. They fit him pretty good, he's currently around 8 pounds, maybe a little high in the rise but I'm sure that will remedy itself soon.
3. Liam's cord fell off March 30th which means he was 1 week old. It looks like he's going to have an innie right now but there is a little part at the top that may stick out a bit.
4. Liam LOVES bath time and we love the PUJ tub. He's used it in the kitchen sink and the bathroom sink with success in both. I think the best part is that his tummy and most of his chest stays covered with water which keeps him comfy and cozy. I definitely think the tummy tub will be a good investment for the future since it keeps him covered too.
5. I weighed myself again a few days ago and I'm right around 145 which is down another 5 pounds....I have done NOTHING to accomplish this.
6. We're working with Liam to get him to bulk up. He was down to 7#8oz at his one week check with the midwife and since that's 11% we needed to get him to gain. I'm suspicous that maybe he wasn't actually 8#7oz at birth (less than 24 hours later at Dr.Daleys he was 8#1oz) or that with all the different scales we're not getting consistant readings because he seems like he's at least as big as he was. In any case, on Tuesday after the appointment I started feeding him every 2hrs round the clock. I also started pumping before our feeding sessions in order to get my supply up and to slow the letdown for Liam. He had a tendency to be fussy at the beginning of feedings and we interpreted this to be related to the high flow of milk since it seems like my supply is more than adequate. I'm guessing he's getting at LEAST 2oz at each feeding and likely more like 3-4...that's 24-48oz a DAY! His follow up appt is this Wednesday and we'll know for sure how things are going then.
