Today when we entered the NICU, we received a very nice surprise. It seems that our boy is now big enough to start tapering off of his temperature controlled incubator. He was dressed for the first time in his little life. He had on a very cute preemie size onesie and was swaddled in a blanket. They are slowly turning down the heat in the incubator since he is getting big enough to start controlling his own temperature. Within a week he will hopefully be moved out of the incubator and into a crib.
I can't begin to describe to you how it felt for us to see him dressed and wrapped up in a blanket. We were both able to hold him for a very long time today, Mike transferring him from his arms to mine with no trouble at all, except for a few wires in the way.
The doctor on call today said he was doing great and they plan to take him off of the c-pap(the large tube delivering supplemental air pressure and sometimes oxygen) by next week hopefully.
Here's a quick video of some extremely cute hiccups and sneezes. Definitely turn up the sound for this one.

There has to be a ring tone in that.
