Weight

Slightly stressed. We went to Alejandro's 2 week appointment yesterday. He weighed 6lb 12 oz. So his doctor tells me he has to come back in on Saturday to be weighed again, and if he hasn't gained weight we have to try supplementing with formula. Which will be a challenge in itself because he won't touch a bottle. She then said if he still doesn't gain weight he will be admitted to the hospital and be fitted with a feeding tube :'(
So we have been basically feeding constantly trying to get his weight up in order to keep him out of the hospital.
Also, I think his umbilical cord wants to fall off soon. I'm not sure how it's suppose to look, but hope it's ok.

Off to feed this little one again!
