Weigh In Day!

Thankfully not for this momma. She's having an awful hard time giving up bread and cookies, so it's not looking good! 

For Bria! 

She has never gained a solid 2 pounds per month. Almost always gaining only a measly pound. They were always getting one scoop of neosure with their breastmilk but Ella was gaining weight just fine. At 4 months, we switched Ella to regular 2 oz formula (20 cal) mixed with 3 ounces of breastmilk and Bria had to stay on Neosure, which is normally 22-cal. However, now we have to increase it to 24 cal. They believe she wasn't getting the most hearty part of my breastmilk since I was splitting it between both of them. I make about 37-42 ounces a day (44 yesterday!!!) But they eat at least 60 ounces a day combined. :/ 

So we have to strategically make 24 calories. It's 3 scoops per 5 ounces. So we split it between bottles since we make them all at once. It's super annoying but at this point we have it down to a science. And all of Bria's bottles are the white lid/white bottle Tommie tippies and Ella's bottles are abnormal. Haha! Either short, pink or pink lid! Best way to do it! 

We went into the doctor praying she was at least 1.5 pounds more! She was previously 11.15. 

2 days ago- she was 13.13!!!! 

Almost up two pound! So this is the recipe for success for  little miss B! We do this for another month if she gains again we can try to decrease back down to regular 22 cal neosure. 

We had E weighed for the heck of it and she gained 2 pounds exactly! From 13.2 to 15.2! She always gained a little over previously!! So the regular 29 seems to be doing just fine! 

We are super proud of our little ladies!! 

Bri is pretty much a big girl! Sitting up! *sigh* 

We tried rice cereal on a spoon last night and E loved it! B was too sleepy! 

Love Ella's smile!
