No Sleep for the Barefoot Clan

Brock before his walk

Well we are all sleep deprived today... Mr. Brock had a gas issue last night and therefor he felt if he couldn't sleep, no one sleeps! It is a good thing he is so cute :) We had a nice Sunday with him and were able to take him on a walk today (which of course he slept through). We hope tonight can yield some better zzzz's for everyone. He is officially in newborn clothes now... so all the preemie clothes are on Christian. He is still in preemie diapers but I see those getting a bit snug as well so I see newborn size in his future soon. We haven't weighted him since last week but he does feel bigger to me.

Christian looked good to me today as well. He was 4 pounds, 10oz today and we are thrilled that he is moving to special care! This is the step down unit for the NICU and his next step on the way home. He will have his own room and they are considered the "feeders and growers" of the NICU babies. He is still doing three bottles a day and didn't do to well last night but that is ok. I still expect him to be home in two weeks or so if I were to guess. He got circumcised yesterday and did well. We are still praying that he doesn't come home on air, but we have decided it that is the worst thing that happens with this experience, we can just deal with it. It is not so bad.

We had our first night with our night nanny Kristin and just loved her! It was so nice to get 8 solid hours of sleep! We will be seeing more of her over the next few months. I have attached some pics of Brock... we have more of him since he is home. We will try to get some of Christian in his new unit tomorrow.
