Ruby weighs 6 lbs 12 ounces this week. Her bottle feeding progress is really hard for us to gage because we're so focused on the one we just gave and she's so inconsistent. Sometimes she'll take a whole one, sometimes half, sometimes we can barely get 10 mls in to her and there doesn't seem to be a common denominator. We're giving her a bit of a test over the next few days and we are going to start feeding her just what she will take by the bottle and nothing through her NG. Hopefully she's ready to make the connection and we'll have progress.

Otis isn't getting enough sleep these days either.

I just don't understand how Ruby managed to bypass the gene that propels some of us (that would be me!) to seek for near constant consumption. Sneaky Ruby!

Three out of the five members of my family have this annoying habit of eating only when they're hungry. I don't get it! Heaven help me and Maggie though. Especially around a whoopie pie.

Ruby, wanna whoopie pie??

Maybe that would help.
