Happy 3 weeks! Patrick is now at the 32 week gestational age and the doctor decided that we can start trying oral feedings. Tonight Patrick managed to get down about 7ccs on his own! And then I panicked about him being able to breathe and swallow and in that time he decided he was too sleepy to try any more. But it was a good start! Unfortunately our camera's batteries were drained, so we don't have any pictures with us tonight, but his nurse did grab the hospital camera so we can get some prints.

He came in at 3lbs 5oz, or 1500 grams! Also exciting. The nurses are dressing him up a lot these days, and I can't wait until he can fill out some of the bigger things! He's gotten a substantial collection of blankets over the last 3 weeks, so he will never have a boring isolette or crib.
