Happy Valentine's Day




Jack just keeps on getting bigger and bigger. He gained another ounce yesterday and is at 6 lbs 13 oz (I guess growing is what babies do). He did his carseat challenge today also. Basically they just test to see if he tolerates sitting in it without problems for 1 hour. He passed with flying colors, the nurse said he just fell asleep in it. We got a telephone call from the patient coordinator and found out that his apnea monitor will be in tomorrow. They will give us all the training to operate it tomorrow, then we will do a in-hospital stay with Jack overnight on Tuesday. It just us & Jack in a room with all the necessities and no monitors (except the apnea monitor). Obviously if there is a problem (which there will not be) the nurses will come in to assist. Then we are hoping for a release later this week, around Thursday or Friday.

Jack is still episode free since last Thursday morning and he is eating like a champ. We've been told that Jack is the most popular baby in the NICU right now. We won't tell him though, cause it might go to his head. I also included a video of his latest bath time. I meant to do it on Friday, but forgot, and the connection out in the trailer is too slow to upload anything that big. For those that can watch it...enjoy.
