My Last Trimester in Rome

Down for the Count...

Well I have lost track of the amount of days I have been here but lets just say my original due date is now just 3 weeks away and I am still here and I arrived at the beginning of my last trimester so I have definitely been here a while.

Good news...Nicolas is now 6 lbs. His weight has slowed slightly and they attribute that to his regular and large BUT HEALTHY craps which lower his weight just before they weigh him. The other babies' diapers weigh .30 grams...mine .33 to .36 grams. Yep big ones. He is practically a legend. They say that is all good.

He is up to 6 bottles a day and two feedings through the tube. He is a slow eater, mostly because I have to wake him up to take the bottle and he just doesn't appreciate that very much and it takes him a while to wake up. In general they tell me he never cries just grunts when he doesn't like something and is always smiling at them when they change him and pick him up. Maybe he will stay that way. I think they notice how good he is because he is in between two howlers. A boy and a girl who cry all the time...just want to be picked up.
