Blue Steel

Today has been a spit-up free day so far, although Chris will be there for the noon feeding, so maybe Foster is saving it up for dad! Foster got examined by a preemie physical therapist yesterday and he checked out A-OK..except that he can only turn right. That is, he primarily lies on the right side of his head. A side preference is typical for babies...we will just have to encourage him to mix it up so he doesn't get a flat head over time. It makes him a mini Zoolander (who could only turn right on the runway), which is appropriate since he is also really really ridiculously good looking. This is his killer Blue Steel.

I've decided this is my last week of work and I feel great about the decision. Most of the doctors and nurses are very optimistic he will go home by the end of next week. It will be great to have more time with him in the NICU and to catch up on my "To Dos" before he gets home. He still needs to pass a 24 hour apnea test, the car seat test, get circumcised, and have an eye exam. Hopefully that all goes smoothly and he passes with flying colors.
