So today he weighed 8 pounds...still. I was a little disappointed. I felt that perhaps I wasn't feeding him well enough...
So the doctor asked me a ton of questions...turns out he is eating...he just likes to take his merry, sweet time. For example, last night he ate for about an hour and a half straight. He drank the whole time, just very...very...slowly.
The doctor said that he was alert, well-hydrated and probably gaining weight (assuming he lost some weight after we left the hospital, too)...his personality was just too mellow and easy-going to be a vigorous eater.
Too mellow and easy-going to eat? Too lazy to eat, perhaps. It's so opposite from Bear's first few days who was constantly hungry and ate too quickly.
Different personalities? I guess we'll soon find out.

sounds like his dad.. super mellow!!
it's so hard not to worry during those first few weeks/months. but it sounds like the little guy is fine. It probably just took a few days for your milk to come in, which is totally normal.
Very cute pix btw.
I owe you a visit! Arrrggghhh.....
Oh. Your kids are so cute! My kids are the same. Sam is more energetic, and Mark is more chill. And no worries. Chipmunk is doing fine. You're an awesome mom, and you're doing a fantastic job.
hang in there!
it's amazing how parallel our lives are right now. our little girl needs to gain a little weight too! =)
