Little Ganache is doing so much better!
At his four week checkup he weighed 7 lbs 10 oz – one ounce more than his birth weight. Look he even has a tiny double chin!
Considering what his little body has gone through that is terrific news! No more saggy, wrinkly skin.
Just very kissable cheeks, except for the baby drool. He is now 5 weeks old and about 8 pounds (I think).
He consumes more formula than breastmilk, and most of that from a bottle. I feel like I’m spending the majority of the day just making sure he is getting fed. But that’s down from spending all day making sure he eats so we are seeing progress!
The poor little guy. Every time he opened his mouth someone was shoving a bottle in trying to make him eat to gain weight.
See how how white he is? At least for being my baby.
Thank you for all the comments, e-mails, and handwritten notes and letters asking for updates on Ganache. You’ll never know how much it means to us knowing there are so many who care.

I’m so glad to hear this! He looks so good…you both do! Thanks for sharing those sweet pictures and I hope everything continues to go well.
He looks like his Dad!!! Quite the handsome young man.
I hope he continues to grow and gain. The drool is even cute.
Beautiful Cocoa, just beautiful.
Thanks for sharing an update with us all.
What a sweetie!
So grateful and happy he is doing well. Thanks for sharing.
He’s gorgeous! So glad you are all doing fine.
I am still on my vacation but had the chance to check my emails and a couple of blogs…I wanted to see if there were any Ganache pictures. He is so adorable! I am glad to hear he is doing well-I didn’t even know he was having problems…I feel so out of the loop on all that is going on in the world. Glad that things are better in your little world. 🙂
Ohhh! Look how he has filled out! I’m so glad he is gaining weight! 🙂
He looks delicious!!
I love that little guy:)
Did you get time to move those handles for the car seat cover? Sorry for the trouble.
I’m so glad that he is doing better! 🙂
So glad to hear he’s doing much better. I didn’t want to ask and was waiting (foot tapping) for an update. I smiled and laughed at the great picture of you holding him (last one) because, like me, no matter how very little sleep you’re getting, you’ve got your earrings on!! When I arrived at the hospital to have our first, I easily handed over my wedding rings…but when they asked me to remove my earrings? Well, there was a bit of an arguement! Go without? That’s like leaving home without your undies! No way.
Hooray for slightly chubby baby pictures. You look good too, Mom!
Bless you for spending so much time taking care of him. Feels like all you do is pump or feed, and then feed the other 8 kids as well. This too shall pass. Hang in there.
I’m so glad he’s doing better!!
