Settling In

Day number 4 at home and so far so good. Nicholas and his mom's are doing very well at home and settling into a bit of a routine. He continues to do well eating and hit 6 lbs today and has grown to 18.5 inches. The more he grows, the more his lungs grow and improve, and the quicker we can get off of this oxygen. Today was his first doctor's appointment and she was very impressed with how well Nicholas is doing, especially considering his rocky start. Our new social outings are doctor's appointments, as we have several lined up for the next two weeks. As long as the reports continue to be good, we are happy.

You will notice in the picture today and green pacifier. This is a very important pacifier, also known as his "binky." It is Nicholas's most prized possession and can never be far from him.

On another topic, warm weather is coming to Madison this week and we are hopeful to get the new stroller out for a walk around the neighborhood. Hope it is "spring" wherever you are too!
