We've spent the last two days in our now, usual routine. Pump, pump, hospital, pump, HOLD BABY D, pump, home to girls, pump, etc. Holding him is definately the best, most relaxing part of my day, and he continues to tolerate it well. The other thing I love is when I call in to check on him, which is once, first thing in the morning and again, right before I go to bed. It is a simple thing, but when the nurses say.."he's doing great, eating and sleeping"...it sounds so good, just normal newborn stuff.
Duggie is doing well, and they just keep increasing his milk intake almost every day. He's up to getting well over half a small bottle over a 24 hour period and as of yesterday, he weighs 2 pounds. They said he would probably lose a little weight at first, but not our guy. My milk supply is not doing so well, but I've called in the big guns, a prescription that is, to help move things along so hopefully that will start working very soon.
Thank you again for all of the thoughts, prayers, meals, Halen hauling to various activities and love.

in my dream last night i was in the hospital with missy and little mr. whobber mcnewber...we were getting to hold him,,,and he didnt need to be hooked up to any of the equipment....the doctors were hestitant at first but he was so strong and able to breath on his own and everything,,,when i was holding him i dippied him in a pool of calm water,,,,and the newborn ´´dive reflex´´that makes newborns hold their breath when underwater worked on him brilliantly......he took such a deep breath when he came out.......melissa walked up and was going to take him then....wire free.
