Upgrade Accommodations

Josiah is continuing to do awesome. He was upgraded this morning to an open air crib. That means he is maintaining his body temperature very well..ROCK'ON. He is still having some good bowel movements, I never thought I would be so excited about poop!! Since he is having good bowels he is keeping his billirubin(sp?) count down so no jaundice and thus no treatment.

I don't have much else to say. Our days are going so fast, by the time we hold him while feeding it is time to pump, then clean, then try and eat or talk to people then repeat every three hours. We just stay focused on the next three hours and that is the most important part.

Eating from the breast is the next big step. I guess white premature boys are the slowest to figure out the sucking instinct, so slow that the NICU nurses call them "wimpy white boys". I think he is still the strongest little boy and not the least bit wimpy but I could be biased. He is just a little stubborn and is enjoying being lazy!

Below are the pics from today.
