We had a fairly uneventful day today. Will's feedings are being increased by 1 CC per feeding now and are up to an ounce each. He's getting a higher calorie blend now where they mix preemie formula into my milk. I was supposed to have a lactation specialist come help us on breastfeeding today but the one that was working today was out so hopefully we'll have one come tomorrow for our first attempt at real nursing without pumping out first. The occupational therapist stopped by again and evaluated his behavior while trying to nurse and gave me a couple pointers on latching - the lactation specialist is supposed to help with the how-to, the occupational therapist mostly evaluates how he's tollerating it. He's started showing signs of hunger before feeding time, waking up without being messed with and playing with his mouth. Not much else to report, doing pretty good.
