Foster had the pleasure of meeting his extended Mills/Marchant family this weekend. Unfortunately Uncle Will had a cold and was not allowed into the NICU. Aunt Sarah and Mimi both got to feed him and he continues to eat well. He is now on "semi-demand" bottle feedings, meaning that if he is awake and hungry at feeding times, they will offer him a bottle instead of tube feeding him. I am still breast feeding twice a day and he takes about 75% of his total feeding from me. Hopefully at this rate he will be home in at least 2 weeks. Last night he was up to 5lbs 8.5 ounces...he's packing on the pounds!
