Lil' champ

Pierson is doing great. Sorry I don't have any new photos to add, my photographer has been MIA. Something about having to go back to work...what kind of excuse is that? Today when I got to the hospital, Pierson was dressed in a premie outfit and wrapped in a blanket. I got to recreational breastfeeding twice today. He did great for being so little. The lactation consultant was impressed with his effort to open his mouth and attempt to latch on. He gets tired quick, so it is very recreational and taking beginning steps to introduce nursing to him. I loved it! I got to sit and hold him for at least an hour after each time. Yesterday they removed his umbilical iv and put an iv in his hand. Today they hep locked his iv, so he just has his feeding tube and monitor stickers. He will be up to a full ounce of milk tomorrow night! He is just a little champion!

    So glad to hear that he is doing so well! I bet you're loving any time you can hold him. Let me know if I can help with the other kids when you're at the hospital.

    Go, Pierson, go! I'm amazed at the strides he is making every time you post. How wonderful that he is able to start nursing! I saw your cute kids yesterday and they talked and talked about little Pierson and were soooooo glad that you are home again. Cute kids you have =)
