Family Ties

With it being a holiday weekend there was family in town.  Dominic got to spend some time with his Grandma Kim (my mom), he met his Uncle Derek for the first time and he met his great aunts Sue and Kari as well as his great uncle Rich.  There is more family in town, but, unfortunately, children aren't allowed on the NICU during RSV season, so we didn't get to see everyone.  But, we know next year at this time D will be strong and healthy and mixing it up with all of his cousins.

D also pooped on his dad (and his clothes) today.  At another changing he peed all over his clothes.  So, he is on his 3rd outfit of the day.  This is all good and fine except he is outgrowing his preemie clothes and we haven't gotten home yet to get his newborn clothes.  So, he needs to keep it under control until Nick goes home tomorrow to get his new clothes.  The pooping episode took place while my brother was close by.  As soon as he realized what was going on he snuck to the other side of the room.  Not suprising, he was not real keen on witnessing anymore diaper changes.  With the amount of times D has peed on himself these last few weeks he reminds me of a drunk frat guy (ahem, no names mentioned) who just passes out after too much to drink (of milk, in D's case) and can't be bothered to make it to the bathroom!

Other than Nick getting pooped on, today has been a pretty good day (although I would argue it was an even better day because he got pooped on!).  D is holding strong and he gained weight again...he's up to 5lbs 2oz.  We are hoping this is our last weekend here, but I don't want to get my hopes up or jinx anything.  Instead, we will just continue taking things one day at a time!

Hanging out, waiting to be weighed
