Bath Time

Carter had another bath today and now he smells great! Today he had very little desats but the ones he had were more severe than normal but only one Brady. This is probably due to him adjusting to his increased feeds coupled with a decreased feeding time.

He'll be weighed tonight at 11 and if he's over 1800 grams (4lbs) they will consider switching him to a crib this week! He will begin learning to bottle feeding next week as well. Between 34 to 36 weeks is the period where he actually begins to suck, swallow and breathe meaning the beginning of his full blown buffet at mommy's chow nozzle! So we're looking forward to that.

We have a really good installment of pictures tonight so feast your eyes! I also put a couple early ones on there for perspective of just how far he's come.

UPDATE 11:30PM: Well, he is 1830 grams tonight which means Nick and I have a 4.1 pound baby on our hands!! He is wide awake right now since it's feeding time. He's been up more this week, a sign he's growing up.

Thank you all for your support and prayers. I was looking back at old pictures and it brought me to tears. He has come so far in the last 50 days. We are SO blessed.
