Since he moved into a small open bassinet last night, Foster has been maintaining his temperature without any heat support. Now that he is all bundled up in clothes, blankets, and hats, we'll likely do less kangaroo care and more holding him while swaddled. I know you'll all be disappointed to see less pictures of Chris's hairy chest! Last night Foster was up to 4 lbs 9.5 ounces. He had some "residuals" overnight and this morning (food left in stomach) but we are hoping it was due to a backup since he had a bit of an explosion this morning during his diaper change (I went through 3 diapers in one change). It's common to have residuals, as long as they eventually clear and are not persistent. He needs to be able to handle the tube feedings (40 ccs every 3 hours) before they will let him try breast feeding. Tomorrow is his 2 week birthday!

Is it just me or is his hair growing out?
