Quick Update...New Pictures Coming Soon

Samuel has really picked up the pace on bottle feeding. On Friday, he took 5 bottles in a row (2am, 5am, 8am, 11am, 2pm) and then two more bottles (8pm & 11pm). That's 7 bottles for that day! He did about 6 bottles on Saturday and then again on Sunday. To come home, Sam has to eat 8 bottles for 3 days straight and still gain or maintain his weight. The nurse today said she would pull his feeding tube later today. They are getting a bit more agressive about getting Sam home. This means Sam could be home as soon as Thursday or Friday of this week!!!! :) Nick and I are very excited. We will definitely keep everyone updated on Samuel's progress. Today he weighed 5 pounds 6 ounces....almost a 3 ounce gain from yesterday. He was circumcised this morning. The whole thing took about 5 minutes total. The nurse said he cried, but he was fine when they brought him back to us. Poor little guy! Dr. Wilson, the same doctor who did my c-section did the procedure. We are bringing Sam's car seat tomorrow. They do a study by placing him in the car seat for an hour to make sure Sam can handle the car seat.

We had a wonderful Easter weekend. The Easter bunny came to see Samuel in the hospital. I promise to post those pictures as soon as I get another spare moment. He got a cute basket with a little bunny, 2 books, a CD, and some pacifiers. Please keep praying for us! :)
