Multitasking

I know it's been a few days since I've updated you all but sometimes I need help with these blogs and my mom has been working part time this week. I keep hearing her say she has a whole new level of respect for working moms after just a week back at work! She was talking to Dad about how she was pumping in a closet while talking to a case manager on the phone. I can empathize with how it can be difficult to multitask because it's been hard for me to suck, swallow and breathe for long periods of time when it's feeding time. I have the breathing part down but I get tired after a while with my feedings. I have been taking about half a bottle at each feeding or doing about 15 minutes of breast feeding. However, I get pretty tired and it's hard for me to keep my eyes open with all that "cardio." The nurses say I have to take all of my feedings orally until I can leave. I'm trying my best!

In other news, I've had gained some weight and am 0.3 ounces away from a hefty 5 pounds! My Aunt EWood and Aunt Lyn sent me some really cute preemie clothes and it's nice to finally fit into an outfit. I also got another bath from Mom again this week and we discovered my hair is a bit curly. Dad said I might be the UPS man's baby because of that but I'm a spitting image of him so he shouldn't fret. I am opening my eyes more and more especially around feeding time but I'm still pretty mellow. I figure Mom and Dad worry enough about me so I'm just gonna keep Maxn' and relaxin.' Happy 3 weeks to me!
