Happy 7 Months, Liam


Liam is 7 months old today and we have great news to share! I took him to get weighed this morning and he gained an entire pound in 5 days!!!!!!!! He weighed 14 pounds 2 ounces as of this morning. Once his body adjusted to the medicine and he overcame his sleepiness he started eating like a champ, around the clock. That's right, the two nights of sleep were only two nights. I put him to bed at 7:00 and he wakes up at 10:00, 2:00, and 6:00 to eat for 60-90 minutes at a time. He had taken two ounces of goat's milk from a bottle out of pure hunger the first few nights since my supply was down, but now that it is back up he is refusing the bottle again. I am so thankful to not have to put him through the ordeal of more tests or a feeding tube. Thank you all for your prayers!

yay for weight gain!!!

Let's hope that ten hours of straight sleep starts again. Still praying, of course.

You are such a great mom!
