4 weeks old!

Happy four weeks little buddy! Today you got to celebrate four weeks in this crazy world by getting circumcised :( I may have cried more tears than you did over the whole thing even before it took place.  I hated the thought of you being in pain after all you've been through already.

In other news, Drake tipped the scales at 4 pounds 11 ounces today and finished his feeding schedule. He is now being fed 37 ml every 3 hours. The goal he working towards now is to take it all by bottle. He had to have his feeding tube put back in yesterday because he cannot stay awake long enough to finish his bottle. Remembering to suck, swallow, and breathe is apparently pretty exhausting when you're 35 weeks old, and he's usually back to dream land after about 20-30 ml.

And a few pictures from our week:

Snuggling with my boy!

This eating burping stuff is hard work!

Enjoying the view from his new big boy crib

All of his weight must be going to his cheeks and chin! He has the beginnings of a double chin :)

Finally! Grammy Linda was able to hold her newest grand baby. Not sure who enjoyed it more!

So we're still hanging out in the NICU for awhile longer as he learns to master eating and breathing. He is making progress everyday and we can't wait until we have him here at home!
