March 3

Alex is making great progress with the breast feeding! I am excited that he is starting to really get the hang of nursing - it gives me hope that we'll be able to move toward exclusive breastfeeding once he comes home.
He put on a good amount of weight since yesterday: he's now 4 lb. 6.9 oz. (over his birth weight!)

The nurses have said that Alex is such a sweet baby - he isn't fussy or cranky. He still loves to sleep on his belly and his side. Unfortunately he won't be able to do that once he's home and off his monitors. I hope he's not getting too spoiled!
