That's what they are calling our boy these days. He has no more real medical concerns and is simply working on taking all of his feedings by bottle. He officially moved over to the feeder/grower section of the NICU last night, which is a nice change for us and the last step to discharge. He's up to 5 pounds and 7 ounces and is taking in 4 of his 8 feedings by bottle. I'm still getting to breast feed before two of those feedings and it is going very well. Endurance is the name of the game right now. He just needs to gain the strength to take the bottle more, which will come with time. His doctors say he should be coming home in 2 to 3 weeks. His sisters can't wait to finally meet him!
