Private NICU

Jack is making progress. He now weighs in at 5lbs 14 oz! Gaining fast!

He is showing signs of figuring out how to eat. He can take about 1/2 his bottle sometimes, once he's taken his full bottle but most of the time he's still getting most nutrition from his feeding tube. (he's on his 4th feeding tube by the way, he keeps pulling them out!)

There was mention at the end of the week perhaps starting some discharge teaching, but it all depends on how Jack does this week. 

He does seem to be having fewer apnic episodes and when he does have one, he self recovers. 

We are eager to have him home, but also want to know that all his milestones are WELL met so we don't have to come back!

 After his 2nd bath with mom and dad. He seems to love bath time. Just settles right in and smells so sweet after.

His curl on his head. I think his hair has been getting lighter, and I hope it doesn't fall out! I like the fuzzy soft hair :)

Starting to get some chubby cheeks

We lucked out and got a private room!!!!!

Words cannot describe how nice it is not to be crammed in one corner with 3 babies and families. 

This was how alert Jack was when we tried to breastfeed for two feedings in a row. Needless to say, he ended up getting lunch via the tube. 

He likes to nap, and he's a pro at it. 

That's it for now :)
