Jay is doing fantastic in the crib and keeping his temperature just fine. Yesterday he weighed 1830 grams... we've hit 4 pounds!!! He's now getting a bottle at 3pm and 3am. He's still trying to master it. The doctors think he will be home in two to three weeks. I am beyond thrilled to hear this. Up until now I have never asked when Jay could come home. I never wanted to be dissapointed. When he was born they told me it could be as late as May so I was mentally prepared for that. It looks like he will be coming home around his due date after all.

We have to watch his hands carefully because our little fighter is just about ready to pull his core pack (feeding tube) out.
