Update

Isaiah is 2 weeks old, and 2 days now! ANd it's been a crazy two weeks!

We brought Isaiah home the Sunday after he was born. Monday Noah went in to the doctor for pink eye, Tuesday we did some pictures of him and the boys, Wednesday the home nurse came out and did his check up and we found he had lost too much weight, and Eli started getting sick. Friday and Saturday we took him to the hospital for weight checks, and Noah got sick with a high fever. Monday Noah went in for his fever, and Isaiah had another weight check, tuesday Noah's fever spiked over 105 and I spent the day feeding Isaiah, and trying to get/keep Noah's fever down. Wednesday Noah's fever broke, and Thursday it was back...then Friday Noah went back in for the fever and we found a new ear infection, and Isaiah had his two week check up. SO...as you see...we've been pretty busy the past few weeks!

Isaiah is doing well overall. He is not gaining weight as quickly as the typical newborn does, but he's well hydrated, having lots (and lots!) of wet and poopy diapers and seems to be eating well. So for now, we will just keep doing what we are doing and taking him for frequent check ups (he goes back Tuesday for his next check up). He is a very sleepy little guy and he just won't wake up to eat unless he decides he is ready. We have tried everything to wake him up, but he just won't cooperate, and if I do manage to wake him up, he only nurses a few minute before falling back to sleep (unless it was his idea to eat). He will take a bottle sleepy, but we don't' like offering him a bottle until after he nurses well (as suggested by our laceration consultant).

So...that's what's going on in our household!
