Happy Groundhog Day?

Finn is doing really good (I love posts that start out this way!). He HATES the CPAP so the doctor is going to try just having him on the high-flow cannula. They will monitor his oxygen levels and if he is struggling at all with it, they will put him back on the CPAP for a little while. This is good news. He is up to 7 ml/hr of breast milk, too! I think he will stay at this level for now, but increase as his weight increases.

I got to Kangaroo with him again today (sorry, no pics...I forgot the camera!). It was great. He was much more active and vocal then the first time we did it, but that was okay. I was actually able to see him a little bit because of the position he was in. He kept lifting up his head and trying to move it! I don't think that is "normal" for a preemie his age...but I'm not complaining.

I think we forgot to mention that he had a 4 diaper change for me this weekend! Yup, he pooped on me three times during one changing! He pooped on my three times today (only three diapers because I got it with the wipe...gross, I know!). I guess that is a good thing because it means he is regular and not having intestinal issues! He actually pooped on his sleeper today, so they had to change it. Oops! Not sure HOW he did this, but he managed.

Daddy is in Chicago today for a meeting but coming back tonight. He said he'd better get some Giordano's stuffed pizza or else! For Ty's sake (the coworker he is with), I hope he gets some! If his flight is on time, we can stop up and see Finn on our way home from the airport. If not, there is always tomorrow.

Overall, life is pretty good right now. Now, we just need our frig to be delivered (today between 3:15 & 5:15), fit in the space and work properly and we'll be all set! I'm just glad it is cold again today so the stuff is staying cold while it is waiting outside to come back in. Oh, and if they bring the old frig out to our garage for me, that would be even better!

Oh and Happy Groundhog's Day, I guess. I have to admit, I don't really understand this "holiday." I mean, either way, it is going to be 6 weeks (they usually say 6 more weeks of winter or 6 weeks until spring). Unless you are really slow...that is the SAME thing! Oh, well. I guess just another day for Pennsylvanians to get up early in the cold and freeze their tushy off. I also have to admit, I still checked today to see if Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow or not (for the record he did!).
