Prematurity

The way i view my boys being premature is that it was NOT an accident, i could NOT control what happened, both circumstances were NOT my fault, instead i'd rather like to believe that god gave me 14 extra weeks to hold, feed and take care of jacob. Now with alex i will have 11 extra weeks to be with and take care of him, although i would have much rather to have both my boys home and not in the hospital for those weeks i'm glad i'm getting/ have gotten the extra time with them :). Alexander is growing and gaining quite nicely he is now up to 5 lbs 9 oz and his oxygen is very low and hopefully he can come off of it before he comes home. The nurse told me today after i came back from pumping (after i breastfed) that alexander had spit up while i was gone ( i got about an ounce less than normal) so i assume that is at least what he ate, besides what they put down his feeding tube, so next time they are going to put down less or nothing at all depending on how long he nurses, today was about 15 min so if he does it longer they probably won't put anything down. 

Slow milk flow

Well my milk supply has started dropping quite rapidly and I talked to lactation this morning and she is recommending that I get medicine to help my supply go back to normal hopefully it works :)
