October 18th: Got some updates on Duke’s size today. My little bird is 19 inches and weighs 5 lbs 7 oz. His belly is now 27 cm around and he is still eating his 46 ml of breast milk. Non of his hair has fallen out (ha!) and his eyes are dark and I can’t wait to see if they go green, hazel or brown.
Duke is more alert now and aware of his surroundings. He enjoys staring at his bear and reaching for him, but he hasn’t caught him yet. He also knows he has tape on his face and touches It frequently. It makes me nervous to see him touching it because I am afraid he may pull out something he shouldn’t. Mostly Duke and I read, make kissy faces at each other and play with his ever curious hands.
The speech therapist came with him again today to work on bottle feeding. She said Duke has a strong suck and he ate 7 ml before falling asleep. She said he would do a great job eating if we could just stay awake.
