Ethan Update 02/02/08

My baby boy is gettin so big. He is now 3lbs 8.4oz as of last night. I got to try to breastfeed him for the 1st time last night as well. He sucked for a few seconds but ended up playing around with it instead of eating, so we switched to the bottle. They said it will be a couple trys before he will completely learn how to eat from it. He has been eating so much usually 40ml per feeding. I think thats why he is gaining weight so good. Last night while he was eating he brady'd real bad and desat'd down to like 40% satuation, which is bad he turned really blue and they had to get his oxygen and put it on him for like 2-3min then he was fine. They said that he will do that preiodically until he completely learns to eat and breathe at the same time. He is gettin better though, he paces himself and stopped to breathe all by himself sometimes and other times we have to take the bottle out of his mouth to make him breathe a second. I love him so much hes getting to be sooo big.
There is another baby in the NICU that is about the same size as him and her name is Emma. Well, Emma's mommy made them both shirts that says I heart Ethan & I heart Emma. Its so cute here is a picture but you cant see it that well. Mommy loves you Ethan & Evan!!!
