Isaac is still an ounce shy of four pounds, but I can see him filling out. I noticed tonight that he's got a bit of a double chin, and he has new creases in his arms when they're bent. He's also losing his chicken legs and getting a bit of thigh chub. He's so sweet.
Feeding is going reasonably well. The challenge for him is figuring out how to suck and swallow and breathe at the same time, and it's a lot of work so he can't do it for very long before he falls asleep. We only try it twice a day, so he doesn't burn too many calories and slow down his growth rate. He's right on track for his age, though, and I'm not worrying about it; he's changing so quickly now that I'm sure it will all click in soon. My job is to just stay relaxed about it all and let him ease into the transition from the feeding tube.
Dennis and I went out on a date this afternoon, just lunch and a movie but it was the first time we've done that since I went into the hospital, so it was pretty great. We need to do that a few more times before Isaac comes home.
