Experiment

So, I did a little feeding experiment today...I noticed that Jaime is more apt to drink his bottles and finish them if they are warm. I gave him a very warm bottle last night before midnight, he sucked it down, didn't even take his usual breaks. When he woke up this morning, I gave him a "cool" bottle...he didn't want it, he took many breaks...that is until I made it warmer. Sure enough, he sucked it down. I did the same thing with his food...ate it all up when it was warm, but wasn't too interested when it was room temperature. Now, I'm wondering if that is why he drank so crappy in the hospital, we never could get those bottles warm enough no matter how hard we tried.
Tom went to urgent care this morning...at his own will, so you know he felt really lousy. They did a throat culture, yep, Tom has strep, had it this whole time. Part of me is soooooo relieved that it's not the swine flu! He's on an antibiotic, he's had a full day of them and by this evening, he's actually feeling a bit better. Strep responds so quickly to antibiotics. He's hoping that by morning, he'll be in good shape for school, at least we all know he won't be contagious because he'll be on antibiotics for over 24 hours (he went to urgent care REALLY early)! Oh and for the record, Jared was feeling much better today, too! Don't know what he had, but it came and went quickly, thank goodness!
Anyway, back to Jaime...while Tom was at Walgreens waiting for his prescriptions, I asked him to pick up one of those water filters for the faucet. I figure instead of making a pitcher of formula and refrigerating it, I will make every bottle individually, this way they will always be warm (and with purified water, too). Jaime drank 100% of his bottles, and ate peas (didn't love them today), oatmeal and pears. He only spit up once after a burp...it was normal baby spit up. :)
Oh and I weighed Jaime naked today, he was 14lbs 13 oz. So, he has gained 6 ounces since we've been home at least according to my scale. Jaime sees Dr. Hellerstein on Tuesday. I can't wait for her to see him, he's such a different boy than the last time she saw him. She actually called me before we were discharged on Wednesday. She was in Kansas on a family vacation and was thinking of us. I thought that was too funny!
Well, I'm off to put Jaime in his bed, he's currently "stirring" on his boppy.
Enjoy the pics and have a nice night!

Jaime was trying to put his leg up like Jared, this went on for a half an hour this morning, it was hilarious. Both boys were laughing, Jaime couldn't do it!

Jaime's new teether?!?

Show us your tummy! (Jared and I taught Jaime this trick)
