Progress

First of all,  I can't tell you all how much your words of consolation helped after my last post. It made me feel better about my own reaction and the process in general, so thank you.

Yesterday we had a follow up visit to the doctor to check on his weight gain over the past week and a half.  The last two weigh ins he had been gaining at the rate of 15g per day.  Over the last 10 days, he gained 23g per day. Huzzah!!! He should be gaining between 20 and 30g, so we're still on the lower side of things,  but we're finally in the ballpark. He went from 9 lb 5 oz last Tuesday to 9 lb 14 oz yesterday.  We're closing in on double digits!

Where Joshua is difficult to feed and that process is causing a lot of stress, the doctor suggested we start him on cereal so that if he won't take a bottle,  we can give that a go. This morning was his first cereal experience and it was so fun.  Enjoy the video of that experience on the link below.  :)  He didn't eat a lot but oh, the cuteness. Here's hoping we're on the upswing of his growth.
