Nicholas continues to grow and is becoming more interactive on a daily basis, which we love. We haven't had his weight checked recently but anticipate his is somewhere around 12 pounds. He is tolerating his new formula well when we blend it in the blender. He's not as fond of it when we just shake it to mix it. He has quite the palate already. Yesterday, we got his labs drawn to check his hematocrit level. We are hoping for improvement and to be able to discontinue the iron supplement he gets on a daily basis. Nicholas's apnea monitor has been going off regularly for bradycardia's (low heartrate) at night. We are getting an over night study done to make sure his oxygen levels aren't dropping also. If they are, we may need to bump up his oxygen during the night. He is in a deep sleep when he drops his heartrate. We anticipate this is normal for babes and most people don't detect it because they don't have the monitor.
We are planning a celebration party for Nicholas on July 31st at our house. All of Nichola's blog readers are welcome to join us. We haven't sent out the evite yet, but expect it in the next week. If you don't get the evite by next Friday, we likely don't have your email address. So, please send us an email with it and we will send you the details: ddmm0811@yahoo.com.
Some of Nicholas's Mancuso cousins came to Madison this week to visit. They were great helpers and entertainers for Nicholas. Nicholas looks forward to meeting his great aunt and uncle, Dave and Judy, this weekend.
