A change of scenery!

Yeah! So Ethan is still off oxygen. He tried breast feeding yesterday and did really good. So we thought we would try it twice today. He did really good at 11:00 and then we fed him through his tube for his 2:00 cares but his 5:00 we thought we try the breast again. Yeah, he really wasn't into it. He just sat there and smiled at me! Seriously, I would tease his lip and then he would smile and I think he was fake sleeping! So after 30 minutes of trying I decided we better hook up his food through his tube so he didn't miss his feeding completely. It's ok though. He did awesome one time so we will try some more tomorrow.

We had yet another change today. Only a change in scenery this time and we didn't have to fly any where to get it! Since we got back from our Billings trip we were in a room without a window. I was kind of going insane. Mark told me that he agreed that it would be nice to have a room with a window again but thought it would be ridiculous if I asked. So I asked a nurse what she would think if I did ask. She said she wouldn't blame me. So a few other nurses thought the same thing so the request was put in. The rooms were full for a while but today there was a room open so they moved us! Yeah! I am loving the sunlight! I think Ethan is liking it too ;)

It is Mark's day off today so he got to see Ethan for the first time with no oxygen. Of course he loved seeing him do so well and less to worry about when you take him out to hold him. It's funny because Mark isn't used to being able to hold him whenever he wants to know. Usually we would have to wait until care times to do so. It's like Ethan reached his due date and said OK I want to be a normal boy! We are loving it!

We also found out tonight that our NICU friends that have been stuck in Seattle for the last 2 months are headed back to GF tomorrow! Yeah! That means Eli is doing better and they get to finally be home... well as home as home can get since Eli will still be in the NICU but might be Ethan's neighbor ;)
