Hard to believe that Aiden is already 1 week old!!
This week has been fairly hectic for us, between being at the hospital, finishing the nursery. With Aaron being back to classes and work, we have been running pretty nonstop. I guess this is my excuse for not putting up pics sooner :)
We are fortunate that Aiden has been doing great this week. He continues to breath on his own without any problems and is a much happier baby now that he is eating. He is doing every other feeding through his NG tube and the other feeding either breast or bottle. He seems to be getting the hang of breast feeding but just has some trouble staying awake long enough to get the amount of milk they want him to have. When I talked to the doctor today he said that once he gets a little better at eating he will be good to go home, so we are hoping for sometime next week. He has also spent the week under the UV light for a little bit of jaundice (very common for premies) but was finally taken off the light today and has actually graduated to a crib!! He is much happier now that he doesn't have to wear the sunglasses and we can actually put little tiny clothes on him. All in all it has been a exciting week for all of us :)
