Jacob had a good day! I tried taking his picture several times, but by the time the camera was turned on, he covered his face with his hands. I finally gave up! I guess all he wanted to do was sleep. Isn't he cute?

Jacob is doing quite well on the nasal cannula...no A's and B's for two days in a row! It's set at 23% at 2 L. I hope he continues to do well on it. His feeding is now at 27 mL over 40 minutes. His bowel movements are still looking good. Temperature has been steady, except for the 3 o'clock hands on today...it was at 36.1... Nurse Natalie did an excellent job snuggling him up in his fleece blankets to get him warm. Now, he weighs 2 lbs. 14.3 oz! HOORAY! We are so happy... 3 lbs. is right around the corner!

This evening, my mom and I went to the NICU support group facilitated by Nurse Christine. It was wonderful. We were able to share our child's milestones, talk about our NICU experiences, express our gratitude, and voice our concerns. I was really nervous, but I felt I walked away with many new friends who shared similar experiences. The dinner was yummy too! I wish all of the NICU moms could be there...I'll do some campaigning next time. =)
