Weight Update

I just got back from having Beckett weighed at the pediatricians office and he is now 12lb 2oz and 62.4 cm long. So he's gained quite a bit of weight in the last 2 weeks!! We've been supplementing him with one bottle a day of pumped breastmilk/formula. Plus I've been taking Domperidone to increase my supply. something seems to be working so I think we'll keep it up!!

It was 1 year ago yesterday that we found out at the doctor's office that we were pregnant!! We got to see Beckett in an ultrasound that day too! This is what he looked like then:



I think he's much cuter now!!

Babbling up a storm

For the last week or so, Beckett has been babbling like crazy again!! He was doing this a lot in mid-September and into October, but then seemed to take a break, but he's back at it is full force!!! Today I was singing old MacDonald had a Farm to him, and I swear he said "E-I-E-I-O"!!! The things we imagine, eh???

I had him on a pretty good sleep schedule until we went home for his baptism. Up until the night before we left he was sleeping about 8 hours for his first stretch every night, but then he started getting up every 2-3 hours again, and has been doing do ever since. And napping has been HORRIBLE again, too!! I just put him down, after being awake for about an hour, but I think I put him down too early. When I looked back at yesterday's naps, he seemed to fall asleep every 2 hours or so. Just when I think I have a pattern figured out he goes and does something different.

He's still getting one bottle of formula + breastmilk in the total of about 6 oz per day, along with breastfeeding every 2-3 hours. I'm hoping to take him in to get him weighed later this week to see if the supplementing is helping with the weight gain.
