KABOOM

Carter gained 30 grams - which is a little over an ounce - meaning he now weighs 3lbs 3oz (and a little bit more). He kangaroo'd with mom and after lunch he got swaddled and layer in mom's arms.

Everything was all quiet on the western front until we got there tonight. As Sandy was getting him settled in her arms, we noticed him making a strained face and then BOOOOOOOM! He let out a very proud man-fart. Brought a tear to my eye - I can't tell if it was pride or the horrendous smell that followed and subsequently chased the nurse out of the room. Turns out it wasn't only a fart..........

Humor aside, that is a good sign. He's digesting well and his gi tract is functioning as it should. Pray for more days like this (relatively) quiet one for Carter.
