A Quiet Sunday

Our little munchkin had his first real bath today. .. and boy oh boy did he smell yummy afterwards.

I thought being immersed in a bathtub full of warm water would wake Mister Sleepy Head up...
But I was wrong... he slept through half of the bath! Notice his very red cheek-- that's where he got the tape pulled off yesterday after he yanked out his feeding tube.
I'm proud to say he did not pee in the tub. He held it-- until he got bundled up in his clean white towels.
Too bad we can't have these little warming lights over the bathtub at home. Kind of a cool feature.
As for the hospital report today-- he was too sleepy for session one of getting him to latch on and eat. But he did 14 minutes for his second session and therefore got to skip the feeding tube. It's slow progress-- but progress we'll take. He had several "de-sats" (de-saturations where his oxygen level drops). The doctor hopes its not reflux from eating. As always, they're watching him and hoping it's nothing. Luckily, Kean kicks it back up.. so that's a good sign.
The girls start school tomorrow. Big sigh... life will hopefully be a bit easier with the girls back in that routine.

Your little guy is absolutely beautiful. I just want to snuggle with him and nibble on his neck! He looks great! But most importantly, how come you are sooo super skinny? It isn't fair. I am not that skinny and Taygen is 6 yrs old? What's up? We love you guys so much! I think about you everyday!
