It's officially the month of Cooper's due date!! Finally :) I never thought it would come! Cooper gained weight today and is now up to 6 lbs 12 oz (3085 grams). He is gigantic and just getting cuter each day.
He's still not pooping on his own and it's making him pretty uncomfortable. They're continuing to increase his feeds, and he seems to be tolerating the additional milk. Cooper isn't as willing to take his feeds by mouth because his stomach is so full, but he did take a bottle a few times today and drank most of it. We're continuing to hope that soon he will be pooping without needing an enema and then we can start breastfeeding.
Overall, he's doing well! Once he's pooping regularly things will be right on track.
