First tub bath!

Jacob had his first tub bath today! When we visited this evening, Nurse Tanya gave us two pictures of him taking his bath. It's absolutely beautiful, but I wish we were there! It's okay, like Jeremiah said...we'll have plenty of opportunities to give him baths. =)

Lots of big things happening with Jacob. He is now on 1 liter for his nasal cannula. Dr. Hipolito told me tonight that if he does well with it, there's a good possibility it will come off tomorrow! Oh, I hope he doesn't have lots of A's and B's tonight! He had 2 last night and one this afternoon. The doctor said he'll grow out of it. On top of that great news, we were informed that he will be bottle feeding every other hands on time. That means every 6 hours instead of 12. Before we know it, he'll be bottle feeding every feeding! Hopefully, this will help him gain weight...though it also means he'll have to use more energy...thus, maybe losing weight??? And...he is now 1524 grams...3 lbs. 6 oz (ONE whole pound from his birth weight). If he continues to gain and control his temp., he'll be able to graduate from the isolette to an open crib. Seems like a lot, but these are things we are hoping he'll be able to do within the next month. We'll be there every step of the way to watch him, love him, and help him grow! It's so exciting.

BTW- Grandma Sorensen is here to visit again! Wahoo!!! Grandpa's ward at BYU-Utah is working on a "little special surprise" for all of Jacob's NICU neighbors! We can't wait!!!
