Lucas Continues to Thrive











The kids had a great day with the baby and big brother Brayden was even allowed in for 5 minutes to see his little brother. Brayden was quiet and said "look he is sucking on his fingers." Overall Brayden thought it was pretty cool to finally meet his little brother. The night update on Lucas continues to be positive despite yesterday's news. Daddy had a great time holding Lucas. Tomorrow will be Amber's turn again. The rules are no clothing, only skin to skin contact with Lucas. By the looks of the pictures daddy didn't mind. Oh Lucas weighed in 2oz heavier tonight, he is now up to 2.4 oz and ate all his dinner tonight without spitting any of it back. He is taking now 3cc's or about a 1/2 tsp. per feeding every 3hrs.

Day 11 I Got A Binky (Pacifier)

Today mommy and daddy came in and daddy got to hold me for the first time (pictures to follow). I loved daddy holding me and when I squirmed daddy rubbed my back (which they said not to), but I loved it! See they don't know everything. I got tired of hearing the kid next to me screamin so daddy had to put me back in bed just after an hour of being held. Tomorrow the neurologist will take another picture and we will find out by Friday what is going on. Also I guess I get all the tests again. Good news they are feeding me more and I am starting to gain weight. Mommy says if I am a good boy the nurse will let me get a bath from mommy instead of the nurse. Yea!
