July 2

Everett has been slowly progressing with feeding. Today he took 60 mL at eight in the morning, and then 40 at his 11 o'clock. He was well rested because his nurse said he wasn't interested during his nighttime feeding. I took the night off last night and decided to sleep. Or try to sleep anyway. Everett was up a lot in the night, thankfully his nurse only had two babies so she said that they played. He was circumcised this morning. It is almost 4 and he hasn't peed yet. That clearly isn't a good thing, they will have to put a catheter and if he doesn't go soon. I wish something would just go as planned.

I talked to the doctors about giving him a range for his eating parameters. Babies don't eat the same amount every feed and I don't think it is fair to hold him accountable to something that is not natural. I also wish we could let him go for hours if he was sleeping, or two if he acted hungry. She said that she could be a little lenient with how much he intakes as long as he consumes the total amount in a 24-hour period. 

Kristina, a friend from work, came by to meet Everett yesterday. She is a wealth of knowledge, her son has down syndrome and is 21 years old. Thank you so much for coming Kristina!

Sweet boy!

We got a cute mobile he loves.

First time driving! Watch out! She likes to be buckled and have her best friend nunu buckle to!

I love his trunk! I can't stand the tag hanging from the tube, so unnecessary. You can see I am attempting to peel it off slowly, trying to make it look like it happened on its own.
