Although we can't wait for Foster to come home, the cats are in no hurry to share the house with him. Let's just hope he isn't allergic to animals. They tend to ignore his nursery, but Elvis just discovered this comfy new spot to sleep.Foster is doing better with the nursing...I'm thinking the first weigh-in was a scale error. Last night he gained 10 grams (equivalent to ingesting 10 ccs) and this morning, 18 grams. He is taking about half the remaining amount from the bottle before he exhausts himself. He weighed 4 lbs 14.5 ounces last night.
Having a preemie in the NICU automatically qualifies you for Remedial Parenting 101. Everyday we are surrounded by experts to teach us how to hold, change, swaddle, burp, feed, soothe, and bathe Foster. I now can't imagine having a baby and taking him home from the hospital in 2 days. I would have been clueless. Luckily we'll have plenty of practice by the time he gets home.
Elvis ain't going to give that up in a hurry! Too comfy!! Might have to get him his own!
