quick check-in

No news is good news. No big changes yesterday, except that they started the slow transition between feeding Logan continuously and boluses every few hours. With that change, I'm trying to be more available so he can try to (learn to) nurse before he gets his feed. Eventually, we'll get to the point where he'll nurse first and only need to be fed through his feeding tube what he doesn't take by mouth. He had his second real bath last night, this time under the direction of Mom and Dad. . . he's a slippery little (4 lb 8 oz) devil, but we did okay and he didn't fuss. (and Sam let us put baby lotion on him when we were done. . . heavenly!)

We've had AWESOME nurses this weekend, which makes all the difference in the world. We're grateful they shared their weekend with us. Yesterday we finished cleaning out the house and Dale's dropping the keys off today (I'm opting not to go). I'm hoping to chill out at the hospital with Logan for most of the day today while Dale runs errands and meets up with us later. The weather is absolutely beautiful here today; hope you have a minute to enjoy it.

Thanks for checking in. Much love--Dale, Michelle, & Logan
