goodnight stars, goodnight air, goodnight noises everywhere...

Not a whole lot to say today...We only just arrived in Burlington around 530 tonight. We checked in at the RMH, got a way nicer room this week (win!), and then headed over here. Little man was asleep when we got there, and is still snoozing. So we decided to leave him be for the night even though I would personally love to snuggle with him for a few hours...

Oh, he also got bigger glasses...

The first thing we noticed upon arriving was that he no longer had on that ridiculous hat! They've moved him from the bubble CPAP to a hi-flow nasal cannula. He's still on the caffeine to promote his breathing, but he seems to be doing AMAZING all by himself! They also are increasing his feedings every day so that in roughly a week (or less) he will be weaned off of the fluid nutrition that theyve been giving him, and will be on enhanced breast milk (they add stuff to give it more calories, so he can get some pudge!)

His head circumference has also remained steady at 27 cm for the past four days! hopefully it will still be the same tomorrow (I was a little concerned that the hat may have been helping it to stay the same). He has another cranial ultrasound scheduled for monday and an MRI on tuesday. Im not going to lie, im a bit (alot) nervous about the MRI. hopefully he does well...we skated through all the potential Spina Bifida issues and now we are just dealing with typical preemie issues. Because someone was very impatient to see the world.

he was sleeping far too adorably for me to wake him to hold him...

We learned that the nephrologist (renal doctor) wants to discuss not cathing Rowan anymore (theyve been cathing him multiple times daily to make sure he is peeing all of the pee out of his bladder) It appears that he is fine in that regard, so we want to stop doing it before it gives him a UTI or any sort of discomfort.




Hes starting to look a little pinker and less veiny than before, probbaly because hes getting REAL FOOD! speaking of real food, We are heading to Outback Steakhouse for dinner NOM NOM NOM!
