Feeding Time

Landon is still in the NICU, but he is showing more and more interest in feeding. He still gets about half of his feedings through a tube, but he is getting stronger and fatter, and his nurses think he is ready to move up to 5 or 6 oral feedings a day. Once he works his way up to 8 (once every 3 hours) in a day, he should be ready to come home! The feeding tube has helped with his weight, he has gained back all that he lost after birth and then some! Last night he weighed in at 5 lbs, 9 oz. We're continuing to get everything ready in his nursery, and we now think that we have enough stuff here for him to come home! Every day we get more anxious, but now it's up to him to keep eating more and more!
