Good news! Yesterday, the night nurse told us he was 2 pounds 1 ounce. However, the day nurse today said he was just back up to his birth weight...so I'll ask the head nurse tomorrow what his true weight is. Either way is good, because apparently some babies take alot longer to get back to their birth weight after the initial weight loss.
Today, the line in his belly button was removed. He now has the IV in his hand. He is still getting caffeine and now vitamin A (supposed to help prevent chronic lung disease I think).
His breathing was not so great Thursday, but today the nurse said he was doing well. He got a new neighbor. It got pretty loud in there with them and then the shift change was happening so lots of nurses were coming in, so it was a good thing he was in his incubator to block out most of the commotion. He is also up to 14 ccs of milk (about half an ounce).
