Journal entry by Lindsay Brenner —
Today is a big day! Joey is two months old! He has surpassed the six pound mark (just barely) and is now fitting into both newborn diapers and (some) newborn clothes! It’s amazing to see how much he has grown.
Joey was circumcised today and received his two month vaccines. He is recovering by getting lots of mom snuggles.
Last night Joey passed his car seat test! This is where he has to sit in his car seat for an hour and a half without having andy oxygen or heart rate drops. This is an essential step in getting ready to go home!
Joey is struggling with eating. He was doing very well and taking around 25mL at each feeding, but recently has dropped back down to 5-10mL per feeding. We think it’s a combination of the fact that he has severe acid reflux and the thrush that he got in his mouth. He seems to have developed an oral aversion. He hardly even takes his pacifier anymore. Hopefully he gets over it soon!
