Today our little Samuel is just a little bit bigger....he not only reached, but passed his birth weight. At his weigh in this morning he was 3 lbs 13 oz! The nurses think they have finally figured out a good plan to help this little guy keep down his milk. They are keeping his feedings at 1 oz. every three hours, but are giving him that 1 oz feeding over a period of 2 hours. So basically, he is almost always eating.
Daniel gave a report on Samuel at his Uncles' church last night and shared about Samuel's new feeding plan and Uncle Tom said, "Well, that's not surprising...almost all the Lockwoods I know are always eating!" :) So I guess Samuel takes after his siblings in more than just his looks.

Way to go little guy~
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.
Praise the Lord. We've been praying daily for all of you.
ReplyDeleteYeah!! We're thrilled to hear he's doing better and the dr's are getting him "fattened up" :-) Must be that good milk :-)

"Weigh" to go Samuel :) Glad he is doing so well. My youngest had lots of problems w/ her feedings in the beginning and we found small feedings that went slowly worked best for her too. She was able to keep them down that way. He is such a cutie!
ReplyDeleteWhat great news! I meant to tell you earlier that little Samuel already looks like all the other children. I can see the resemblence. Isn't it amazing how at so young and small we can already tell he fits right in!! Amazing!
ReplyDelete*tears* So, so precious! Much love to you all.
ReplyDeleteThat beautiful girl in those pics cannot be the mother of 12! Rejoicing with you and praying for you. Blessings to you all.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all the sweet photos! What a handsome little fella. Glad we got his feeding schedule down so he can gain some weight. Bravo, Samuelito! :o)
ReplyDeleteWhen he comes home you will probably be nursing all the time!! That will be wonderful won't it!!!
