Update and pictures

Ok, so Kaiden is getting big WAY to fast! I have weighed him and he is like 10lbs now. We have already done started adding rice into his formula/breast milk depending on if I have any pumped. If I dont he wants to eat like every 20 minutes. Adding in the rice he goes anywhere from 2-4 hours before wanting to eat again.

Yesterday Kaiden met his dad for the first time. Kody was super nervous when he held him, he kept saying he didnt want to drop him. Kody's mom took some pictures so when she sends them to me I will post them. But today when I was changing Kaiden this morning, I took a bunch of pictures, So I will post them now :)

Update on Kaiden

So I have been home with Kaiden for a little over a week now, and he is already changing so much. He is a prety good baby. He wakes up only about 4 times during the night to eat. I am breast feeding him, it started out being a real big challenge. He wouldnt latch on for anything. I saw two different people while we was in the hospital, only one got him to latch on but it was only for a few minutes and he never latched on again. We tired and tired when we got home, but then at his first doctor appointment, the doctor gave us a number for the lactation nurse at Pekin hospital, and we called her and went, and we finally got him to latch on at 6 days old. She worked with us for about an hour and a half. We got home we got him right on. She did say that Kaiden has a tight frenulum, which is the skin under the tongue, which would be the main cause of the trouble latching on, so she gave me a number for a doctor that takes care of that, if I choose to, we can get it clipped so it will be easier for him. Before we do it though, we have to get a referal from the doctor which Im going to do at his next appointment which is tomorrow. Other then that every thing is going real well.

Here are a few pictures of him now
