Cousins on the way!


Foster continues to do well nursing and bottle feeding. The last three nursing sessions he took in 18, 32, and16 ccs. In addition to what he takes from the bottle, he is ingesting at least half of his 45ccs orally. Hopefully that means he will advance to oral feedings three times a day soon. The doctor said that if he keeps up this progress with no major setbacks, he may go home in about 2 weeks. Two weeks seems like eternity, but it is still much earlier than if he was full term. I have to keep reminding myself of that.
We are very excited that Foster will have two new cousins arriving this year. Chris's sister, Laura, is due in August and my sister-in-law, Erika, is due in December. May they both be FULL term!!

  5. These two photos really showed a more "grown up" little dude! He really looks like an adorable, handsome, smart, alert baby. I do wonder about hints of red from time to time amidst that blonde. VERY cute all around!!!!
