Andrew is doing well! He is such a blessing to our little family! He fits in perfectly! We have taken him to the pediatricain 2 or 3 times in the past 2 weeks because they want to keep weighing him to make sure he is gaining weight. The first time he was 7.8 pounds, and then next time that we went he was 7.11 pounds. And they want us to bring him again this week to get him weighed again. The RN told me to feed Andrew 3 oz of formula after I feed him 10-15 min on each breast. And I think that sounds ridiculous! He can barely finish 2 oz of breast milk when I pump it! What makes him think that Andrew will be able to eat from me then eat 3 oz of formula on top of that?! Anyways, I have asked alot of experianced people about this topic, breast fed babies having trouble gaining weight... And well, everyone pretty much that I have asked said not to worry about what the RN says because breast fed babies gain weight slower than the formula fed ones. But he has plenty of wet diapers, like a healthy baby is supposed to and he eats PLENTY! lol. Lately he has been eating every 1-2 hrs! My Mom says it looks like he is about to go through a growth spurt. And she said not to worry about his weight, because it will soon be here!
Besides that, this weekend we are going to visit Drew's Sister De-An and he husband and child. They came to visit us last weekend. And this weekend is Easter so we will get to spend it with family! Which alot of people stationed here in Germany can't do, we are just lucky enough to have relatives near! It is like a 5 hour drive. Andrew should do just fine with the car trip though! He just falls right to sleep when riding in the car! And when we sit through church it seems he sleeps the whole time! lol.
