Passing Tests Left and Right!

So Kavi has been doing pretty good on all his tests! He did very well on his:
-hearing
-vision
-2 metabolic screenings
-head ultrasound

He's at 4 pounds, 4 ounces. Nisha's been breastfeeding him for 10-15 minutes, and then bottlefeeding him 40 ml.
So he's been taking about 50-55 ml each time she's with him. His orders are now for him to bottlefeed any time he's awake. If he's sleeping, then they just tube feed. But generally, he gets all riled up and fussy when he's hungry. Nisha breastfeeds him twice a day.

It's interesting - since eating for him takes work, he actually BURNS calories in the feeding process! If only that were true for adults!

Here's a video of him after his feeding...just when we thought he was done and ready to fall asleep, he starts acting like he needs more food!

Actually, what had happened is we forgot to burp him right after his feed, which is why he was so ancy. So when we realized this, and burped him, he calmed down....
but he was still acting a little hungry!

I think this boy's gonna eat us out of the house!
