We have had some progress since I wrote you last. You are now off all lab testing - all your blood numbers, sugar numbers, jaundice numbers, etc are all fine. All you are here for is food. We need you to eat 3 oz at each feeding for about 48 hours before you can go home. You at about 1 oz with me at 6 am and 1.5 oz with the nurse at 9 am but then you slept through the 12 pm feeding all together. Whatever you don't physically eat from a bottle goes into your tube.
You are getting so darn cute! Your yellow tinge is going away. Your swelling is going down. You will still open your peeper and dart your eyes around at everything. When people talk to you, you will turn your head to see them. We think your eyes are going to be blue like Elijah's. They are lightening up but there is no way to tell since you don't have them open that much.
You love being swaddled tight and you love being in the swing. I told daddy he has to get your swings put together pronto :) You also like being cuddled up on our chest and taking your naps after you eat. I just can't wait to have you at home with us. I am hoping that you will be there by the end of the weekend.
Now, I can finally get you some photos posted. I went to do it a few days ago and the internet was down.
One of your first birth photos. You were still getting cleaned up in the operating room. I can't wait to post this to next one of your brother because they are identical - just a little more stuffing in your cheeks :)
Relatively-new-to-the-world photo. We sent this one out to everyone letting them know you were here!
Day 2 of your life. Look how long those nails were!
My first time getting to see my boy!
Day 3 - first bath and your first feeding with Daddy! I love those pictures with daddy. He just looks at you with so much love!
Gramma Debbie sent us this photo. I love your little face. I can't tell if you are crying or smiling at having your cheeks pinched :)
Day 4 - Big day - you got to meet Elijah through the NICU window! Our first photos as a family. You also got to meet your cousin Andrew!
6/13 - This is you after you ate a bottle. I was playing with you to make faces with your lips. :)
