NICU-titious

As I posted earlier, our NICU experience has been like a roller coaster ride.  We have our ups and our downs and we never know what to expect.  Because of this I have become NICU-titious.  This made up word refers to me being superstitious about things going well and us getting out of here.  For example, the other day the nurse and I were talking about bradys and how stressful they are, etc and bam, D decides to brady.  So, I have decided there will be no more talk of bradys in this room!  Similarly, I have decided I won't be posting much about the specifics of our "brady count".  I just don't want to get my hopes up and ramble on here and then have something go wrong.  So, suffice it to say, D is doing well, but we are continuing to take it day by day.  And, please keep praying for his little heart to stay strong!

D gained alomst an ounce today and is up to 5lbs 2.8oz.  He is now feeding from a big boy bottle (Dr. Brown's instead of the little hospital bottles).  Nick brought his car seat up tonight, so I am thinking they will do his car seat test tomorrow.  And, he is now in his newborn clothes.  They're a little big, but no more preemie clothes for my big boy!

Very good at relaxing...just like Daddy!

My sleeper says it all!
