My kid...a genius?

Is he trying to tell me something in sign language? He's a genuis already! hehehe... Isn't this just absolutely adorable? It took him a while to figure out what to do with his thumb!
This is how he sometimes like to sleep...it's his comfy position. Thanks Nurse Natalie!

Jacob had a good day. He weighs 3 lbs. 4.9 oz...had 3 A's and B's last night...temperature kind of warm...bowel movements good...no residual...still on caffeine, reglan, pepcid, Vit.E, folic acid, and multivitamins. Lots huh??! It's okay...the Doc knows what he's doing and Jacob is tolerating it just fine, except his stool is sometimes kind of darker than usual. The Nurse reassured me that it's normal and not to stress about it.

Check out the video- Jacob was moving his hand around and by accident, he placed his thumb in his mouth. Because it was there, he began sucking and it was sooooo cute! We know it was by accident b/c babies usually make a fist when their thumb is in their mouth...Jacob didn't. You can also tell with his eye movements. I think it was a little strange for him! =) Meanwhile, he used his other fingers to pull on his gavage and nasal cannula. What a kid! He knew we needed that humor today. We had a good laugh!

He did not have the eye exam today. The doctor never called back to confirm. I was on the edge of my seat just worrying... I tried to stay positive, I really did, but it was kind of hard. Jeremiah calmed some of my fears by taking me out on a date to Elephant Bar. It was soooooooo good. We topped it off with the best Creme Brulee...well, it's actually second best to Monterey Bay's Fisherman's Wharf, but it was delicious. Now, we can't wait to have family time with Jacob and take him to restaurants, musement parks, museums, etc. with us when he's healthy and old enough.
