Big Boy Crib!

The big news today is Joshua is now in a big boy crib!  No more isolette/incubator!  He is maintaining his temperature very well on his own.  That's one of the criteria crossed off the list, closer to going home.  Now we just have to get him weaned off high flow oxygen and eating on his own.  Tonight he gained another 20 oz, still 4 lbs 1 oz (actually 1.6 oz, to be exact).

Check out the big boy crib!



Joshua has a new neighbor.  The baby next door arrived last night right after delivery, and he weighs over 10 lbs.  It's crazy, after so many weeks staring at tiny Joshua, his size is the new normal to us; that big baby was cute, but he looked so funny to me, as huge as he was.  James said we better be careful because he could eat Joshua.  :) 

We are starting to get our house ready for Joshua's homecoming.  I figure the time will fly before he comes home, so we better get a jump on it.  Today James asked Jeremiah where Joshua should sleep, and Jeremiah replied, "Joshua sleep in Jer-Mimah's crib!"  It was so sweet...he wants to sleep with the baby.  I think he'll be a good big brother.  I also think he doesn't have a clue how his world is going to change.  It will be interesting to see how it goes.
