So Master Samuel is now weighing in at a hefty 5lbs 15.5 oz...
Fitting nicely into some newborn clothing my brother sent up here as well (thanks Pete and Kim!)
I stopped pumping on Saturday and Sam has been exclusively nursing, and it looks like we are good to go, I am going to return the pump to the hospital! In the 10 days or so we pumped my supply got a 'tad' too high, lol - so the first few days without pumping was a *bit* uncomfortable and messy (sorry guys at Ray's work for a bit too much information...).
We also have a ton of stored EBM in the freezer so Nana and Papa can watch Sammy when we go to a movie or something, and he will be able to eat!
He is a joy! All seems to have fallen into place, and we are happy - all 5 of us - Caroline and Christopher love their little brother, and I know he is going to adore them.
I took Sam by the Peri's office today, I just had to show Dr. S what he did for us in being willing to TRY something, even though things looked SO dismal there for a while. He said I will take credit, but I wish I knew what I was taking credit for... I told him thank you for treating me even though he didnt think the baby would make it -
He told me, a mentor of mine told me once, it is better sometime to be lucky than right - so very true!!
That's all for today, from a very happy woman...
