Eat, Zoe. Eat!

Blood tests from a few days ago show that Zoe wasn't eating enough.

We're grateful for the guidance, because we really didn't know what was enough. Zoe's pediatrician recommended that she eat a mixture of five ounces of formula and three scoops of formula. It's a much richer mix of ingredients than we were using. It's also 2.5 times more than little Zoe is used to eating.

So we've been plugging away, feeding her as much as we can. The truth is, her little tummy isn't used to that much food and she hasn't handled all the food well. We also are realizing that even if Z had an eating tube, she'd struggle with that much food. So, for the time being, we'll stick to giving her bottles and see what happens.

Jen has told me she's seen it, but I did see it yesterday - a full, gummy smile. Welcome to day 122, Zoe Bean.
