Well, little Rocky is making some progress! He went in to see Dr. Edwards yesterday. He is now 5 lbs. 14 oz. (not even 2 weeks old yet, and he's gained 4 oz!) And he is 19.5 inches long! He had his whole bottle yesterday morning (50 ml) and later that night, we were visiting the grandparents and he very quietely pulled his tube out. Of course, we didn't think to pack a tube with us So we had to feed him his whole bottle again - and he did it!! He is doing awesome.
He IS getting pretty sore on the inside of his mouth on his septum. Probably because of the nipple rubbing up against it, and it's not meant to be bugged too much. We asked the doc yesterday if there's anything we can get to treat it, but it just has to callous over time. We do have some lidocaine we put on it though to numb it up a little bit before we feed him.
We are still at the Evans'. We're hearing bribes left and right, more and more every day convincing us to just move in! We were talking about rent and joking that we'd probably have to pay Tyson and Bryson, rather than my parents because we're staying in their room. :)
