Phew, it has been quite an up-and-down ride over the past 24 hours. Quincy had his newborn appointment yesterday at 11:30am. Everything went fine at the visit except that his weight had continued to fall. When we left the hospital, he was down a tad over 6%. They generally don’t like newborns to lose more than 10% of their birthweight. Well, he was down to 6 lbs 15 oz. Even though he was nursing well, he just wasn’t getting enough food because Dara’s milk hadn’t come in enough. That has all changed now. Her milk is in and he is eating really well now. We weighed him this morning and he was up to 7 lb 1 oz. I believe that issue is on the upswing now.
Quincy is now eating more and sleeping a lot better now that he is not extremely hungry. I believe he has gotten even cuter over the past few days. It is amazing how fast they change from when they are born. Ashby is doing well with him also. He seems concerned sometimes when Quincy is crying, but in a good way. I’ve been sure to keep giving Ashby all the attention he is used to getting normally.
I think that about wraps up the past 24 hours. I may try and snap a picture sometime today if I can get one with his eyes open, but that remains to be seen. Thank you to everyone who has called and been praying for us. We really appreciate all the support we have received from our friends and family.
