Staying at the Hospital too late

Sorry for the delay again in posting, I have been staying at the hospital from 9 am til about 10-11 pm so its been late by the time i get home and by then I don;t feel like posting... Anyway, all is well in NICUland. We are still in CCN, still on 1 liter on VapoTherm, and today we graduated to a crib! Open air! Not sure how Bryce will handle his surroundings being out in the open so its just a trial right now, we'll see. He has to be able to maintain his temp and not desat or brady and for a little guy like him thats allot to ask. But I have faith in him, I know he can do it! We have TRIED to start breastfeeding, he sucks at it, (no pun intended) but really he has only had 1 good feed the rest have just basically been practice. They say he is still young and won;t have the coordination until he is 32-33 weeks (adjusted) so we'll just keep trying until he finally gets it! No rush though. He is now 2lbs. 15 oz. (almost 3!) I bet he'll hit 3 lbs tonight, I will get that weight at 11pm tonight so I will update tomorrow with that. We had Anne for a nurse today which was one of his IC nurses! I missed her it was sooooo good to have her again. So like I always ask please keep praying for him because I know for a fact that it is nothing short of a miracle that we even have him let alone how well he is doing (knock on wood), so please please please continue to pray for him. (Oh and maybe throw a little one in for me, I could use a little sanity at this point.) Thanks!
