He is doing much better now, and the only problem he is that he is a bit "laid back" when it comes to feeding. He isn't to keen on sucking his food. Both from me or the bottle! So, it may be more like Saturday when he can come home. They say that preemies like him are about a day and 1/2 behind normal babies for every day they are in NICU. So technically he is a day and 1/2 old. Most babies can't suck that good by the second day anyway. I have to think in that perspective, which is SO SO SO hard. He is about 4 times the size of all his "roomies" there so it is hard to think of him as early. He is about 7 something pounds now. Which is still great! So, please pray that he will desire to suck his food down, we want him to come home. My milk is in now, so that will be easier for him.
this is a good one from when he was in the NICU. They have moved him to a different nursery now, and the only tube he has is his feeding line.
