Bottle from Daddy

Cayden had a lot of visitors yesterday!  I spent a couple hours with him, trying to breast feed (but he was too tired after his therapy session that morning) and then kangarooing before Daddy and Jamison stopped by.  Jason got to give him a bottle for the first time at his 3:00 feeding while I headed off with Jamison in his stroller to try to get him to fall asleep for a bit.  I wound up riding the elevator to the fifth floor, which is the floor where he (Jamison) was born.  I stopped by the nurses' station to see if our favorite nurse who helped deliver him happened to be working.  Sure enough, she was, and she was so excited to see us!  Nurse Chu Chay came back down to the NICU with us so she could meet Cayden - back in 2009, as we were being discharged after Jamison was born, Chu Chay said she would see us again soon because she just knew we were going to be having another baby very soon.  At the time I laughed and said I wasn't so sure about that, but hugged her goodbye and left.  Who would have ever believed she would be so right?

One of Jason's former co-workers at Arkansas Childrens Hospital who now works at University Hospital also stopped by the NICU yesterday.  All of us were there at the same time, so Cayden's pod was pretty crowded!

Other than the visitors, there hasn't been too much excitement, which is a good thing.  He's been gaining weight steadily again - on Sunday night, he was up to 6 lbs. 2.2 oz then Monday, he gained another ounce to land him at 6 lbs. 3 oz.
