Pump

We've been giving James tube-feedings (usually about 8 oz) at night for a few days now.  It's hard to tell how it's going.  Logistically it's a minor hassle (starting it early enough so we can turn it off before going to sleep). Fortunately the very annoying beeps from the pump don't seem to wake up the boys.  (Though I am quite nervous to type this because I don't want to jinx it.)

It seems like he's drinking somewhat less milk during the day (which is what the GI doctor predicted when he said don't bother with the pump a few months ago), but we're going to give it a little longer and see what happens.  (I kind of feel like since we gave in and went back to the pump that he should suddenly be magically gaining large amounts of weight, but of course that's not too realistic!)
