He also had gained a lot of extra weight over the night. Generally weight gain is good but if it is too much too fast it usually means that it is water weight. So the doctor (Dr. Lee) tweeked the hydration he is getting and gave him a water "pill" to help get rid of the extra fluid.
During all this he wasn't able to digest as well so they held a few feedings. Today he seems to be tolerating his milk well and he is now up to 9 cc's every 2 hours.
Eric likes to kick his legs out for a good stretch once in a while and those kicks feel stronger on my hand.
Here is a picture of him sleeping. Cozy as usual. When I can't sleep I just picture him all cozied and it helps me go to sleep.

Is there anything more peaceful than a sleeping baby? Sleep, milk and poop all add up to good growing. So happy to hear it! Thinking of you 3 everyday and how amazing you all are... Betty B
oh! He looks so peaceful and cozy in his little hat. What a little cutie.
Allison Levy and I are just writing to say hello to the three of you! She and I both thought of you today at the same time. We got a jellybean here with Eric's name written all over it! I am keeping a list of nicknames for Eric that I can call him when I meet him, can't wait!
Hi Sweeties,
