3 pounds!

He made it! Patrick is back at 3 pounds tonight! They upped his feedings to 25ccs every 3 hours, and tomorrow we'll probably some non-nuitritive breast feeding, just to see if he has it figured out. He's definitely showing some instincts toward it.

The doctor got rid of his oxygen sat probe, so that's one more line gone! I'm so used to having the yellow line on the monitor screen to watch, I sort of feel lost without it. He's only had one episode where his heartrate dropped to 80, and that was only for a second.

We did get some big news today -- Jon's old coworker Greg and his wife Brenda had their twin girls today! Brenda had been up on the 9th floor for just over a week, and they had gotten to 29 weeks and one day. I think their names are Ava and Lydia, and they weighed 3 lbs and 2lbs 15 oz! It sounds like they're on the same track as Patrick, and they are also on the 5th floor but across the hall from Patrick. Their aunt told me that now Patrick has two possible girlfriends!

Anyway, I wanted to just put out a congratulations to Greg, Brenda and big sister. We hope that everything will go just as well with them!
