June 13th, 2006 and Beau TWO WEEKS OLD!!! He's doing well. I just spoke to his nurse. They turned on his Jaundice lights again, but are shutting them off today. His oxygen has been between 30 and 50% with the conventional respirator. He hasn't had a poop in a while so they're giving him a suppository and they slightly increased his pain meds to keep him a little stiller. He's been wriggling all over the place and pushing away the cloth boundaries. His nurses think he's funny with lots of personality. That left leg just loves to be out straight- he is his father's son!
They're talking about giving him my milk again as soon as he poops. Hopefully the arterial line can come out too so I can begin Kangarooing him. I can't wait to go see him this afternoon. He's reached 2 pounds! Keep up the good work baby, keep up the good work.

Congratulations on the birth of your son and welcome to the preemie mom blog support group. Everyday is a new adventure in the NICU. It is a place you will forever hold in your memory as both good and not so good. Hang in there and take one day at a time!
