Well, since the Dr. put me on the medications, things have been vastly improved. Nathan is doing wonderfully- still very healthy, and very happy for the most part. They're leaving me on the meds for four months, then we'll be tapering off to see how it goes. I've been truely enjoying being myself again, and enjoying my little big man.
He's been eating like a horse the last day or so- he was eating 2-3 ounces (mostly 2-2.5) every 2-3 hours. He's suddenly eating 3 every 2 hours, and sometimes clearing 4 or 5 ounces in a 2-hour stretch. Last night he woke up twice (well, technically 3 times) and ate about 3 ounces each time.
He'll be four weeks old on the tenth, though, and from what I've been told, they usually hiot a growth spurt at the 3-4 week mark. Scary though, since he had gained a pound and half an inch in height at the 2-week checkup! He's already trying to roll over - and would manage if he could figure out his arm is in his way. He's also following some movement by turning his head, and was batting at the blood-pressure cuff's inflation bulb at the Dr's appointment. He's smiling too- just not yet in response to us!!
Sounds like he's awake too. I'd better go- he's probably convinced he's starving, as usual
