8 appointments in the next 4 weeks...I'm not use to being on this side of healthcare

Yesterday was a long day. Gabe had his first Cardiology appointment. He's gaining weight which is a plus. We're trying to start feeding him on his command instead of waking him every 2-3 hours only to have him throw a fit. I'm still pumping breast milk b/c I want to give him as much immunity as I can for the winter months. We have appointments scheduled with OT and PT to help with feeding issues and I'm still planning on meeting with lacatation next week to see what they say. I'm still trying to figure out how long I can take this whole breast feeding pumping thing. I figure I'll wait till they do the feeding eval with OT/PT to see what they say. I've had a cold lately which is weird b/c I haven't gone anywhere. Maybe it's the weather. Gabe has also had lots of upper airway congestion. I've been squirting saline up his nose and using a bulb suction which he loves. I also made them suction him out real good at the doctor yesterday. He sounds a little better today. They said he may just be a loud breather and get a little gunky sounding due to his narrower nasal passages. They also did a chest xray yesterday to see if he's having any stress to his lungs because he breathes so fast. The xray came back normal, so we'll keep watching it. We go back to cardiology in 2 weeks for another weight check and to meet with the dietitian. Mom came by this afternoon to help out. I took a 2 hour nap and feel like a new person. My Grandma also made us dinner...it was like Christmas. We're still trying to work on Gabe decreasing his awake time at night from 4 hours to 2-3 hours. We're trying to start the whole routine thing. He does love his lullaby music..thanks Deb! I need to try to put video on this blog so everyone can see the cuteness live in action. I know I'm behind on pictures...here are a couple. Gabe closes his eyes everytime the camera flash goes off, so it's rare to catch him in a picture with his eyes fully opened.
