Day 42




Dad's too tired tonight so it's mom's first post. Lots of small events in the past couple days. Tristan was able to move up the 5th floor on Wednesday which means he is a more mature stable baby now, yay! Tonight Michael gave him a bath for the first time. Tristan had so much fun he peed right on Michael. After the bath we both got to hold him while they changed his "house". Our nurse said he moved from a Cadillac to a Ford! Although that sounds bad, it's a good thing because it means he is learning how to regulate his own temperature now. And he gets to wear clothes! The t-shirt they have on him is a little big, but we'll bring in our preemie clothes soon. This is a good thing because at the rate he is gaining weight he'll be huge when he goes home! He is retaining a little too much fluid so they do give him medication to get that out of him. Tonight he lost weight which is a good thing. Last, you can see Aunt Allison is in town to visit, lucky Tristan. He had a very eventful night, but handled it great.

Wow! What great news. He definitely is looking great, and maturing so fast. God definitely pushed him along.

Happiness to all four of you.
