One Month Old

Noah is one month old today! We have had a wonderful and busy week home. I will post more soon, but some of the highlights are:

  • Appointment with the pediatrician - 8 pounds 12 ounces and 22 inches long.
  • Now feeding around 30 ml from a bottle and 40 ml through the NG tube.
  • Had his first immunization shot (only cried a little bit).
  • Daddy and I have replaced his NG tube once (he coughed it out his mouth) and the trach (Saturdays are "trach changing days").
  • Many visitors have come to cuddle and meet the little man.
  • Found out we're being referred to Dr. Song (a cornea surgeon) at Children's Hospital Los Angeles not UCLA Medical.
  • Should know next week when we're heading down south.
  • Does not hate "tummy time" as much as I expected.
  • LOVES to be held.
  • Several doctors appointments are scheduled for the next few weeks.
It's amazing how fast the days are zooming by. Because Noah needs to gain more weight, we are sticking to a strict feeding schedule every three hours. I seem to only have small windows of time to do laundry (how many outfits can he spit-up on in a single day???), clean a bit, wash hundreds of bottles, pump, organize his mounting paperwork, return some phone calls, and sneak in some cuddles before it's time to feed again. Wow! The life of a Mother is Awesome!!!

  1. And the answer to your question about how many outfits - exactly one more than you have available! Keep cuddling - and don't foret that marvelous Daddy of Noah - he needs his cuddles too. You're doing an awesome job of being a mommy, and I suspect your mommy had a bit to do with helping you keep things in perspective. The Kansas City area woke up to 4 inches of snow this morning; Trigger is having a grand time outside, and said Sierra can come visit any time.

  5. Isn't it amazing how much your life can change in 1 month? And stick to your schedule, it makes a HUGE difference! Its hard at first, but it makes everything so much easier in the long run. Levi was a premie and we had to have him on the same thing to gain weight. And it works! He's now a strapping 4 year old. Good luck in LA!

    Love,

  9. Doctors like to freak us out sometimes... 8 lbs 12 oz is WONDERFUL, and a lot more than Bettie weighed at one month. They're just being extra cautious (as they should be).
