I'm having a hard time figuring out RJ's routine. He can't make up his mind how often he wants to feed or how much. Plus he can't make up his mind how much he wants to sleep. Today he's barely slept since waking up. He's taken lil cat naps here and there. It's been fun seeing his eyes all wide open I have to admit. He is pooping more too on his own!! I discovered today that I fed him a lil milk and then he wouldn't take any more. While sitting on the couch he was just looking up at the big open windows grunting and furrowing his eye brows. Turns out he was working on a poo. :) He did that twice today!! I'm so proud of him in that department!!

We were able to get our hands on an O2 sat monitor and have been checking RJ's sats without the oxygen. Today we kept him off over 2 hrs and he was maintaining mid to upper 90's!! Tomorrow we have our grad clinic appt. We will be meeting all the different ancillary staff departments and getting acquainted with everyone. I've made a list of questions of which includes seeing about removing the oxygen. We weighed him Monday night and he was about 6.4 lbs. He had been around 6.8 lbs, but had some poo's since then. Regardless he is gaining weight and looking bigger every day. He's looking more and more filled out and it's adorable!!

My mom and lil sis Emily are coming this weekend!! It'll be fun to have family around and extra help since poor Robert has to work the whole weekend. :( This month is almost over and his next rotation will be less stressful and less time consuming.

Welp, I hear the lil guy grunting. I'm hoping he will sleep a lil longer, but ya never know. Thanks again for all the prayers, support, and love!!
