Week 15

Blogs have become few and far between of late. I'm so tired. Our days and nights have become very busy with feeding, cuddling, bathing etc, and home time consists of preparing for the little man's homecoming with washing all of his new little outfits, bedding and anything else that sits still long enough..

Jensen is now 15 weeks old. He weighs 1944 grams, and has a head circumference of 30.5 cms. Yesterday he started a new medication for an under active thyroid. This is not exactly the problem. He has enough of the hormone but the thing that makes the hormone is high, signifying that he is working very hard to make enough Thyroxine.

The speech therapist tried the bottle with him this afternoon and she has given him a gold star. His breastfeeding has improved more than she'd hoped and he did much better with the bottle, only de-saturating minimally, and recovering quite quickly. We are moving onto four sucks a day tomorrow and trying to give his top ups via bottle rather than by tube. So fingers crossed.

That's all for today. I need to sleep.
