More Great News...

Well, another good day in the NICU! Today Reid was taken off of C-PAP and put on just the nasal cannula! That is a great sign and means that he is almost ready to breathe all on his own. He is also eating well again - 3 cc's as of our visit tonight. He will move up to 4cc's tomorrow. To put it into perspective, 30cc's equals 1 ounce. Reid's nurse tonight told us 4cc's is the equivalent to one tablespoon - so that is how much he gets every 3 hours. He has a tiny tummy! He gets weighed each night at 11:30 pm, so I'll have an update for you tomorrow. Without the C-PAP mask (or as Jimmy calls it - headgear) we could finally see his whole face and head. He has the cutest little nose and a full head of dark brown hair. So adorable... Today was also the first day that the nurses dressed him in preemie clothes. He had on a yellow footed pajama outfit. It was huge on him! His little legs on came about half way down the leg of the pajamas! Still it was nice to see him in baby clothes. Here are a couple of pictures from tonight's visit. I only took two because the flash seemed to bother him. My mom suggested that next time I should put my hand on him so that you can get an idea as to how small he is. I'll try that tomorrow. Oh and his head scan came back normal....yeah! He'll probably have one more in a few weeks.
