Chunky Monkey

I now have a chunky baby!! Gabe is now 3 lbs 1 oz and he is 15 1/4 inches long. I know that 3 lbs isn't big to some people. BUT when you start out at less than 2 lbs, you are chunky at 3 lbs. He can wear clothes at 1500 grams (which is roughly 3lbs 8 oz). I can't wait until he can wear clothes!! I do plan on put at least a shirt on him for Easter. I am not a person who allows my children to have holiday pictures made in NOTHING but a diaper.
Gabe is now eating 25cc at a time-5 more cc's and we will be at an ounce.
Gabe would have been 33 wks today IF he would have decided to stay around in my womb a little longer. Next week he will be 34 wks. I am hoping that they try to bottle feed him. He loves a pacifier, so hopefully he will get the whole suck, swallow, breathe thing down.
Gabe is still on the nasal cannula at about 30% oxygen (sometimes less). He is a morning baby. He is awake in the mornings but not so much at noon (when I am usually there). He is quite vocal about his likes and dislikes. He likes when Greg holds him. He dislikes when he has to wait for his food. Thirty minutes before his feeding time, he gets quite unhappy. That is VERY confusing to us. If you know us well, you know that Jacob is NEVER hungry. The kid could skip a whole day of eating, and I don't think it would bother him at all. I guess that is why he is almost 9 and doesn't weight 50 lbs yet. Gabe just may love food.
I go back to work in 2 weeks. Jacob will be happy, and I will not have to deal with the tears, constant complaining, and the fake sickness. I keep reminding him that I will only be back for a few weeks, then off again to be with Gabe when he comes home. I have a feeling Jacob will be quite jealous of Gabe, once he is home.
