Daddy Time

Dearest Joshua David~

Well, big day for you and daddy! We came to visit you this afternoon and got another surprise .... you were off the CPAP and only had a nasal cannula. :-) It appears your breathing is doing well. You're still just on room air with no supplemental O2. You are so cute without that CPAP on since we can see your head better (no hat). I like your little fuzzy hair! :-)

Then, daddy got to hold you for an hour! He did the Kangaroo Care hold, like what mommy does with you. It was good to see you all so close, even though I was jealous that daddy got to hold you. :-) You were very cozy and comfortable against daddy!



You've gained an ounce! The nurses talked to us today and your belly button IV line will be removed soon. They will place a different one in your arm, or leg, for a larger artery. That way, you will be able to gain weight and absorb nutrients better.

We brought the nurses a little treat for all they have done for us. FYI, the nurses like snickers!

You are now 8 days old! We still can't wait to bring you home!

I love you so much .... forever and ever! :-)
