I could kiss his sweet baby cheeks all day long!
Our visit this morning was great! I got to feed Parker a bottle of my milk. He loved it and actually ate more than what they have him on. He is still under the lights for jaundice and probably will be for a few days. He only has the iv which is giving him fluids and hopefully that will be gone soon. The nurse said that he may have to have the feeding tube put back in because he sometimes becomes lazy while eating and thinks that he doesn't have to work for it on the bottle. She said this is typical and expected for a baby his age and he will soon learn that he has to work for it to get the goods!
Graysen rocked him for a while and then I got to. It seems harder and harder to put him down every time we leave. He is already changing so much! I can't believe how much he looks like both of us. He weighs 5.8 lbs which is good considering he was born at 5.12 lbs. I'm so ready to bring him home I can't stand it! We are taking clothes down to our visit tonight and as soon as he can come out from under the lights and regulate his own temperature he'll be dressed as cute as can be!
