3/2/2017: The doctor weighed Robbie without his casts when we went to get new ones on his legs today. He's only 6 lbs 6 oz. At 7 weeks old he's STILL not back up to birth weight. So demoralizing to realize reflux medicine and wearing myself out pumping/feeding every 2 hours isn't helping him. An ultrasound ruled out pyloric stenosis but his GI appt isn't for another week. This mama is tired and burned out with no end in sight. #hecantgainitandicantloseit

Robbie's 2 months old today! He's FINALLY back up to birth weight and gaining steadily since I started adding a cocktail of rice cereal, formula, gripe water, and probiotics to his bottles of my milk (and sometimes donor milk from a friend). And he's out of the casts and sporting his new Pavlik harness...it looks like lederhosen with boots to me. 
Taken during his short stint after his serial casting when he wore the Pavlik harness. After a few weeks we realized his knees kicked out of position so we took him back to Dr. McIntosh at Scottish Rite and she decided to have him in braces instead. That was fine by me because he threw up all the time and I would have to take everything off and change his clothes every time.
1st wiggly tooth!

I have a few more happy cooing videos that are too long to add, sadly.
