a great present to us on christmas was being able to go together to visit ethan. while unkie chris entertained eli, andy and i were able to spend some quality time with ethan.
ethan is now up to 3lbs. 11.4oz. wow!! our little guy is packing on the ounces daily! his admission anklet is getting a little snug and will need to be replaced because he is chunking up. it really is amazing what a few ounces does for the cheeks. you actually have something to pinch. we also were given the great present of being moved to the west room of nicu which is a brand new area and gives us ample room and peace for our visits. ethan will have a little quieter environment and we will have more comfortable visits with him (although it is harder to leave b/c there isn't a sense of being in the way). 4 more weeks and he should be able to come home. 1.5 weeks and he will begin bottle feeding (maybe sooner...we will see). you definitely know when he is hungry b/c he gets fidgety and starts to smack his lips and sticking out his little tongue.
