William is two weeks old today. Not going to lie- we've had a bit of a stale week. William hasn't taken a full bottle since Tuesday and he hasn't breastfed. We were moved out of the Pavilion NICU on Tuesday to the Texas Children's Level II NICU and I will say, it is quite different. Very loud, lots of crying babies around, lots of alarms going off. It's a whole new environment- and I think it has been wearing on both William and us. Each time we try to feed him, he's been very tired and does not wake up to feed. My prayers are that he begins to get used to the new environment and that he starts taking his bottles. In order to go home, he must be taking all of his bottles (8) and be gaining weight. He is not even taking one right now- so lots of prayers that he gets the stamina and energy to begin feeding. He also has not gained much weight since he was born- he's at 3 lbs, 1 oz and he will need to be at least 4 lbs before he can go home. We are saying lots of prayers for a better week and for progress on both feeding and growth.
In positive news, William is still off of his oxygen, so great news there. He's also cute as can be :)
