Milo is now almost 38 weeks adjusted and is becoming very active. He loves being held and is awake more often during the day. He likes looking around at his surroundings and watching the nurses coming in and out if his room. He took his first full bottle the other day and continues to take at least half by bottle at each feed. I hate calling it a "feed" because whenever the nurses say he drank X amount during his last feed, it makes me think of little baby vampires.
He has also just started breast feeding and he is really good at latching. Sucking is harder for him because he has a very short tongue tie at the tip of his tongue. This prevents him from bring able to stick his tongue out. He may need it clipped to help make breast feeding easier and to prevent speech issues later on.
The nurses also noticed he may have a hernia that could require surgery. He is getting a consult tomorrow and hopefully it won't be bad enough to need an operation. If the hernia doesn't set us back milo could be home within a week or two!! While our stay has been nice and we found a nice rhythm, I am eager to move forward and have him home :)
