I can’t believe Gavin is a month old already. As you can tell from other posts, it has been a difficult month in the Hannen household for several reasons, so time really flew by. Gavin has had a battle with gaining weight since birth. He lost much more than what is considered ‘normal’ and was almost hospitalized twice for dehydration. I had to feed him every 2 hours around the clock for over a week and still he gained only a few ounces. I would nurse him, feed him formula in a bottle, and then pump to keep my supply up… wait an hour and repeat. Who needs sleep??
I’m happy to say that he has started to improve and is now almost back up to his birth weight. The Ped. said he would really like to see a larger gain, but since Gavin lost so much initially, he is happy with the amounts at this point. Gavin had his 1 mth check last Thursday and got an otherwise perfect bill of health. He looks great and is generally a very happy baby.
My apologies for not sharing photos! I haven’t had a chance to format or load many but I promise they WILL be coming soon =)
