Turbo-feeding

Caleb Drew spent two days at Childrens Hospital. Our main purpose for the stay was to "turbo-feed" him, and that we did! He weighed 9lb, 3oz on Thursday, and he weighed 9lb, 10oz this morning!

We learned how to put a NG tube in. Well... Brad did it. I held Caleb and tried to keep him from screaming too much. If Caleb remembers that Daddy is the one who sticks a tube down his nose, maybe he'll say "Mama" first?!

We also learned how to feed him through the tube. We got really good at using the hospital's pump, but the one we have at home is different. Of course! The one at home seems pretty simple, though.

Here are a few iPhone pics from our hospital stay...
