Well the little guy ended up having to get IV's back in because he needed some blood. I had expected this would happen so I wasn't too upset. He needs what he needs.

They are also watching his tummy via xray because of some digestion issues he's been having. So far the doctors have told me it's just precautionary.

His breathing has been really good. I hope he keeps this up. He's consistently in the low 20's on his CPAP which is fantastic for him.

Right now my main focus is that he gets his nutrition and starts to gain more weight.

I forgot to mention that on Sunday night he got his first "bath". It was more of a sponge bath but he got all cleaned up from head to toe :) He's also big enough now to start wearing some clothes. I ordered a few NICU friendly items from a website I found. I just need to wash them and take them in tomorrow. Jay's also lucky enough to be receiving some hand me downs from another little boy who was in the NICU named Connor. His mom is friends with a friend of mine and she was nice enough to offer to send them to me. He's gotten some wonderful gifts and one of these days I need to take pictures and post them on here.

Here is another site for some quality preemie clothes. She was a preemie grammy. They are very well made. http://www.preemietees.com/index.php?state=preemietees&module=ivtees

Thinking of you as always!
