-- Alex hit a major milestone today of 5 bottle feedings in a day (as of his 8:30 feeding)! He did a great job with the bottles even though he appeared a little tired after his workout of all the bottles yesterday.
-- Surprisingly, his weight remained at 6 lbs., 10 oz. The nurse is speculating that because he is getting so much exercise with the bottle feedings and being awake, he is burning as many calories as he is taking in. I just talked to his nurse (~10p.m. tonight), and she noted that they are going to add some calorie additives to his milk at least for the near future.
-- Dad has some kind of a bad cold or flu, so he did not get to see Alex at night and may not get to see him tomorrow. He is banned from the nursery until he recovers. Mom will have to take over all of the status reporting and picture taking at least for the next day or two.
-- Alex's good friend Marie came by to visit for the first time. He was glad to meet her.
