Happy Babies

Sleeping baby in his new room at NICU 2.

Hi- We seem to have two pretty happy babies these last couple of days. I think Christian really likes his new digs at the hospital and is weighing in at 4 pounds, 11oz today. He finished his whole bottle for me today in about 20 minutes which is great! He was awake and liked being held today and was overall in good spirits. His doctor came in to visit with me and gave us some more good news... his heart murmur is nothing to be concerned about. It tested as a regular preemie murmur and something he will grow out of. He also has another small blot clot which is also not of concern. We will follow it to make sure it goes away but it is not concerning. He has his air on at 28% today at 1 littler which is lower than it has been which is also great! The nurse said if he kept up doing well she would try it at 25% later today... we will see. He is trying 4 bottles a day these days and isn't really wonderful about completion but is getting better.

Brock is happy today too. He has had some wonderful feeds and seems super happy here at home. We go in for his two month shots on Tuesday next week (ouch!) and his eye apt on Wednesday morning. It has finally stopped raining today so we will try to take him on another walk this afternoon. He has LOVED his two previous walks so I am hopeful today he will still like it. We are all getting a little more sleep this week. I am usually up from 230-5am and my mom has been taking the 1130p feed and Brandon takes the 530a feed. If we do this we all get some sleep!

I don't expect Christian home this week or next, but I will think it will be in about two weeks that he is with us here at home. It will be wonderful to have all our boys here with us :)
