I wanted to post a quick update as we had a very good day. When I got to the hospital, the first thing I noticed was that Ethan's cannula was missing. Yep, missing! He is tube free and looks adorable! He was breathing on his own and is doing great. He didn't have any drops at all with it out. This is a big, big milestone for us and one of the first signs that he is getting closer to coming home. We are thrilled.
He's up to 16ml on his feedings and his digestive system is working perfectly. He's also steadily gaining weight, now up to 1525 grams (or 3lbs 6oz). He needs to hit 1800 grams and be 34 weeks before he moves to the bassinet. He'll be 34 weeks on Saturday and I have a feeling it won't be too much longer than that he'll hit his 1800 grams (4lbs).
I'll have more to post tomorrow as I do have new stories to share...but for now, it's getting late and Jon and I are just getting to bed. We're exhausted after a very busy weekend. I'll also be sure to post new pictures.
Goodnight.
