Busy day!

Jacob had a good day. He had nurse Maria so he was sure to put on a show for her today. He tends to be silly for her! =) He was a bit fussy during kangaroo care because he had a poopie diaper. After we put him back on his bed and changed his diaper, he just laid there staring at me and my mom. It was really cute. His eyes were wide open!

Everything else is pretty much the same as far as feeding, medication, and bowel movements. His weight tonight is 2 lbs. 13.4 oz...it went up! Yay! His oxygen pressure is at 2 mL. Maybe he'll be on the nasal cannula tomorrow if he's okay tonight.

We captured some good moments of Jacob below. He's absolutely adorable!

Staring at me as I'm making weird baby sounds.

Sleeping!

Playing with his tongue is his new hobby!

Rested...finally!

I just love looking forward to your posts... Jacob is really growing! I love the peek-a-boo picture on the right side of your blog.

Each of the pictures on this posts shows a different side of his personality. Does he like to be on his tummy? He looks so coy in that last one.

The nurses in the NICU at Dameron are amazing and I could not imagine anyone else caring for a preemie like this. Enjoy your kangaroo time, I wish the chairs we are suppose to get from my son's kangaroo care fund were there for you to enjoy, but I understand they have restarted their search for the perfect chair.

God is good - Jacob is living proof!

I meant "cozy" not "coy" about Jacob on his tummy! Sorry for the typo!
