I can't believe we are to the sixty day mark! Joshua will be two months old tomorrow. He's getting to be a big boy. Yasmin, his nurse tonight said he was fat, which is a compliment to him:). She hadn't seen him in a while and said that he had put on a good amount of weight. He is up to 5 lbs. 4.5 oz, which is great. He seemed to be steadily gaining, which I hope continues the more times he is able to breast feeds. I went in to feed him again this morning and have decided he is just not a morning person. He likes his sleep, almost all the time, but especially in the morning. So, I hung out for a bit and tried again at 2pm. He still wasn't wide awake then, but he took his pacifier, so I thought there might be some hope of him feeding and he did. I went back again at 8 pm and he was much more awake and ready to eat. They are going to try and bottle feed him some tonight if he's awake during any of his feeds. He does great when he's awake and ready for to eat, he just has to wake up! They took away his nice comfy z-flo bed. The one that molds to any way that he wants to lay. Maybe that will help him not to sleep so soundly.
I sell thirty one on the side and inside one of the wallets it said, every journey begins with a step. For some reason I found that to be so profound. We have the choice to take a step in the direction of trusting God or we can try to take things into our own hand and end up realizing we can't do this life on our own. Each step will either draw us closer to God or lead us away. I want to walk with God in each journey that I take. It's just too hard when I don't.
Specifics to pray for:
That Joshua will be awake and alert during feeding time and will feed well!
His eyes continue to develop and grow like they are supposed to. He had another eye appointment today.
He keeps his oxygenation in the high 90's-100.
We glorify God through this journey and we learn all that He wants to teach us.
For health and rest for everyone, but especially Joshua and Maddy. (Rest not during feeding time for little man)
