Isaiah is a slow grower

Well it has been a little while since my last post, we’ve been busy taking care of little Isaiah. He is eating now every three hours during the day and about every 4 hours during the night. As of Friday February 29th, he was back up to his birth weight at 7lbs 12 and a half oz. He is slowly gaining weight and it looks like he is going to be a smaller boy then what Logan was/is. Logan was 16lbs at 5 months. We shall see.

It is still a little rough for Alyssa to get sleep during the week while I am at work. I work 2nd shift 5:30pm to 4:30am. Last week was not so bad, I only had to work 4 days. This week is going to be a bit worse I have to work 5 days. We have her cousin Lisa coming over Tuesday and Thursday night to help and her friend Melissa coming over on Friday night. What makes it rough is Logan has been waking up at 7am lately and it takes Alyssa a good little while to fall back asleep. So if Alyssa feeds the baby at 5am she doesn’t get done until 5:30am or 6am and just about the time she falls asleep Logan wakes her up. I usually get the baby when I come home so she can sleep through this feeding.

Alyssa found out today that she has mastitis and the Dr. gave her some antibiotics to help her with this. The down side is that it may give her a yeast problem, which she is currently battling at this time. Isaiah seems to be doing better about nursing and it is not taking quite an hour to feed him like it was the first week. We are glad for that. He seems to be eating the bottles faster if I warm up the milk so it is warm. If it is cool it takes him about twice as long.

During the weekends I have been doing all the night feedings so Alyssa can sleep. She said that Friday night she got the most sleep since the baby was born.
