New Look!

You guys! Wyatt's blog got a little facelift. We changed the name to match his Facebook page, Love Wyatt, and gave it a cleaner look that can grow with him.

Note: The title of the blog and his Facebook page does not have a comma for a reason. It is not a typo. Promise. 

Wyatt's home nurse came today and I'm pretty sure it's the first time we didn't have any real concerns. He gained 2.5 ounces in the last week, which makes me one happy mama. Since birth, we had to work hard for every single ounce. Every time a scale came out, I had mini panic attacks because he had a heck of a time gaining weight, and I just knew a tube was on the horizon. That spidey sense is strong for this mama. I just had the timeline a little off, oh well. Anyway, the weight checks were rough. 

Once he got the feeding tube, he gained weight a little too fast. We had to be mindful of his feeds, make some adjustments, and get him to slow down his weight gain. As the ENT reminded us, chubby babies who have extra rolls on their chins are cute, but they can't breathe so well. So we slowed him way down and watched what happened. Then we increased calories a bit and he's very slowly gained weight. Like .5 ounce a week. If any. You can imagine I was a little anxious about that, since every weigh in is a little bit like PTSD for me. 

This was back in the chunky phase... look at those chins. 

But he's gaining or maintaining, so we keep on keepin' on, folks. 

Updates for appointments this week: we continue with private physical therapy (PT) 2-3 times a week this week, OT at the house, and audiology appointment on Friday afternoon. I'll be very curious to see what she has to say about his hearing. Cross your fingers and toes for good news!
