Eat, Sleep, and Poop ... well maybe just eat and poop.

It has been a week now since Truman came home. We are just trying to fatten him up for Thanksgiving. (no we are not going to eat him, though he is cute enough) We feed him a bottle every three hours and if he gets too tired to drink it all (which is quite often)  then we hook it up to his feeding tube. All in all it takes about an hour and a half to finish feeding him. As you can imagine this doesn't leave much time for sleep, so we have been running on very little. I am still getting used to the little noises he makes even when he is asleep. So I always feel like i need to get up and make sure he is okay (this is normal for first time dads right?) Anyway, last Friday I got 1 hour of sleep and Saturday I got 2 hours. He certainly keeps us on our toes. He is up to 8 lbs and we hope that we can take the feeding tube out soon. It really seems to bug him. He is very good at spitting up and when he gets mad he really likes to try and punch you in the face. 

Thanks again for the continued support, I don't know if we could do it with out everyone.
