Movin' on up

This weekend I moved into a new room and into a new crib. I guess I'm moving up in the world. I still don't have a "window side" but I think the families that have been in the NICU a really long time might get that perk. My new roommate is a girl and she cries a lot. She was born 18 weeks early and only weighed 1lb 2oz. I overheard she might go home this week though so it looks like she's moving on up too.

In other news, I keep gaining weight and am now at a stocky 4lbs 7oz. I can't wait to be in the 5s! My cheeks are filling out a bit and I am awake more often, usually during the times that I should be getting fed. Though I still sleep a lot, Mom and Dad get to see my eyes more often. As you can see, I'm still having a little trouble fitting into my clothes.  This outfit is from my cousins, Luai and Luka. They were much bigger when they were born but I have confidence I'll be filling these bad boys out soon enough!

I hear Mom talking about having to go back to work part time for the next couple weeks. She feels guilty for leaving me here on my own for longer hours but I told her all the pretty nurses do a good job making sure I'm healthy and growing. This week Mom and Dad might get to feed me from a bottle and I'm still practicing feeding with mom. Once I get that whole suck/swallow/breathe thing down, I'll be on my way outta this joint. Dad says Dunkin can't wait to get his little brother home!
