Today was another good day. Colt is continuing to eat and poop good. The Dr. anticipates him coming home on Saturday or Sunday. Today they increased his feedings to 2 oz which is what he needs to be eating. They took him off of the iv. He still had it in today but they'll take it out tomorrow as long as they don't have to give him nutrients through it again. We got a little taste of parenthood today. He spit up on me and Jared both. Yesterday when Jared was changing his diaper, he starting to pee but Jared caught it in time. I'm sure that's the first of many. He also burps really well and is "tooting" alot too. So his insides seem to all be working very well. I guess it's another thing we get excited about that maybe most parents don't. So tomorrow night we get to stay at the hospital in a room with Colt. He'll be in a regular crib in a hospital room with us. Most moms get a few nights with their newborn with nurses help. But since they took him right after he was born, we never got that one on one time with him. So this is something they offer to NICU moms at no charge. So really tonight is our last night without him. I'm so excited. I just pray that he gets through the last night continuing to do really good with eating and pooping. Then hopefully we'll bring our boy home on Saturday night. So I'll keep everyone updated. I can't wait to bring him home!
Still the cutest boy in the world!
This is how he reacts to his diaper change
He always has this expression on his face like he's so curious
