We went to the pediatrician today. Louis is up to 8lbs 13oz. Apparently I have enough milk to feed an infant army and he has been overfed which explains the abundance of spit up and congested sounds. The doctor said it was completely possible for Louis to get the 2-3 ounces of milk he needs from me in under 10 minutes. Thank god because I was told a full feeding should be about a half an hour, and Louis just can't stay awake that long, so I have been battling to keep him awake when he's probably thinking, "Jeez mom, my stomach is gonna burst, why does every day have to be like Thanksgiving?! Let me sleep!" Fine by me. He pees every time we change him (no, really, EVERY time). He is a poop machine. We love him anyways and still intend to keep him for the time being, even though he keeps me too tired to play with my new bread machine or cook a big pot of beans.
