Yesterday was a busy day for us - Jon and I were hardly at the hospital at all. After talking to the doctor yesterday, it's become a big priority to get the bedroom done for Patrick. We've got 5 or 6 more weeks up here! They're expecting to be able to send him home on the first or second week of November. With Will, we were worried about respiratory problems, but the doctor said that Patrick should be like a normal baby. Getting the ducts cleaned again might be a good idea, though, he did tell us.

Patrick weighed in at 2lbs 14 oz last night, so he's still gaining weight! We'll be back to 3lbs soon. He's eating and pooping and doing everything he's supposed to be doing. He has had a couple of desats (where the O2 reading goes below 84%) but he self resolves, most of the time before the nurse can even get over to check what's going on!

Other than that, we can play dress up with him. Jon's getting pretty good at diaper changes. Patrick is wide awake just before his feeding times, and he's showing signs of being mature enough to nurse - putting his hands to his face, sucking on the pacifier- and we might start trying bottle feedings and all that next week.

Patrick is not the exciting one up here today, and we're okay with that!

Pictures again someday. I'll have to remember the camera.
