Drakey Update
Yea! Good news. I took Drake to the doctor today for his weight check and he has gained a pound! Well, 1 ounce shy of a pound. I told the doctor that Drake has been spitting up a ton, and in the last week he hasn't been really interested in working for breast milk when the formula comes out so easily in the bottle. So, the doctor said I can try to just go back to breastfeeding and see if Drake can still gain weight appropriately. The doctor said that Drake definitely looks healthy and happy so as long as he doesn't have a huge decrease in his weight gain she will be happy. Yea! I have been stressing out about this so much this past two weeks. Good job Drakey! So I will be taking him back to the doctor again in two weeks for another weight check and hopefully he will be doing just fine with the breast milk! If not then it is back to stressing.

Aww, he's so cute! Good luck with the feedings. We've been having stress with Miss Ella too. She's slipping in her weight percentile and we're struggling to help her gain weight because she doesn't want to take a bottle AT ALL (and I wasn't able to breast feed!). I know about the stressing, and it's no fun. Keep us posted! :)
Oh, we're glad he's doing better. That would be great if you could take him off formula. Happy Mother's Day, Jenna! We'll miss you guys today. Hope you're having fun in St. George
YAY! So glad it's working out. Pretty soon he'll have large tubby rolls!!! :)
