Last night was a good night overall. Cael got a tube at 8pm and again at 4:45 this morning. He was just a tired little dude this morning so I decided that he should get another tube to keep up his progress. He was up I want to say it was 45 grams last night and had consistently wet diapers!! So this morning when he was acting sluggish, I didn't want to be stubborn and think that we had to breastfeed. The tube is what's best for him right now so that's what we'll do. The sooner we "beef" him up the sooner he'll be strong enough to nurse around the clock.
So when will we get out of here? It's hard to say, here's my prediction. Since we're supposed to be getting some pretty crappy weather this weekend - My guess would be that we would get discharged during the worst part of the storm. If that's the case though and I don't think I can make it home. Consider this a warning to my friends and family in or near the Rochester area - If the weather is bad and I can't make it home - there's no way we're spending another night here so don't be surprised if I come knocking on your door! Don't worry though, Cael and I would be easy house guests.
In all seriousness, it's hard to say. Maybe the extra tubes yesterday and this morning will be just what he needed and now nursings will take off. Or maybe we need to do another day of alternating between the two so might not be until Sunday...or even later than that. Basically the only thing I know is that tomorrow would be the earliest and the 27th of December would be the latest.
Again, if there's anything to update after rounds, I'll be sure to post it. Have a great day everyone and drive safely if you must go somewhere. Love to all~
