Grow Baby Grow

Baby Doug is doing great. He's up to 2.4 lbs. and the doctor said he would gain about 1 oz. a day, on average. They did decide to keep him on the antibiotics for one more week, so he'll have that iv in for a little longer.
We are able to hold him everyday and today Mike took a turn again. They keep him bundled up when he is in his bed but when we hold him, he loves to stretch out and wiggle around a bit. If he looks a little red in this picture, it is for a couple of reasons...daddy's tummy is very white ;) and they gave Doug blood yesterday, so they said his skin would look red for a few days.
He hasn't had many of those set backs they keep telling us about, except for a little sleep apnea, which is to be expected.
I wanted to say a special thank you to Amy Miller for gathering our friends who wanted to pitch in and organizing a months worth of dinners for us. Thank you to everyone who is taking the time this month to prepare meals and bring them to us.
Dr. Su, one of the several doctors that has been caring for Duggie, said expect things to get good and boring from here on out. Mostly just lots of sleeping and eating on Doug's part and daily visits to the hospital to watch him eat and sleep, on our part. Like we told the doc, after the two weeks we have had, a little boring will be nice for a while.
