Day 106 of Life - October 2nd

Happy 41 weeks gestation, little one! My how time flies!

The little Turkey continues to do well on his feeds. He woke Ma up this morning at 5:30...with what was pretty much a cry...his first!!! Getting quite demanding in his "old age"... He was ready for his 6:00 feed...although a little early!!! (He definitely didn't get this from Ma...or me!!!)

They have also turned down his oxygen (to 60 L/min) and have him back on the oxygen saturation monitor. They are still saying that he will come home on oxygen, but they are trying to get it a little lower...testing to see if he's ready. He definitely appears more tired than usual, but isn't having any desaturations. Keep up the good work, little one!!!

    It is good that he is waking on his own for feeds - although I think you will come to hate it. (I do :) ). 41 weeks - F was born at 41 w 6d so he is not so old as F was when he was born yet! And he has done so much! I'm glad to hear he is crying now - but you won't like that much either in the future... Ma, it will tear your heart out every time you hear it. Do your best not be doing something important when it happens - since your brain will turn off the instant you hear it. You will want to stop everything to make the crying stop.(Driving with a crying baby, is seriously not fun).

    Pa, you look so cute with Sha in those pictures.

    Good luck - see you soon.

    The photos are awesome, I think you should definitely print the one off of Pa & Sha cuddling because that's a really good one. Well glad things are going well, too bad about the oxygen going home with the little guy but must do what you have to for the little guy.
