Big Boy Bed!

Well the little man did it, jumped another milestone. He is in a big boy bed. He had to reach 2000 grams, and be able to hold his temperature today. So starting at 10 AM the top came up on the isolette and he spent the day out in the world. Every 3 hours we would check his temperature and see if it was okay. He is a little on the low side, but it seems he has always been like that. His body seems pretty toasty, especially in his Halo swaddler. And I would like to add, if you are expecting or have a tiny baby these things are great. Luke loves it, especially when his hands are right by his face. He doesn't wiggle nearly as much and he isn't trying to escape. But anyways, Luke was finally given the okay to move at 10 PM tonight. HOORAY! So now I don't look so sad sitting by a box, instead I can really see him. I am praying that he can still keep his temperature up and continue to gain weight, or back to the box he goes. All the nurses that took care of him when we first got here can't get over how much he has grown. Tomorrow will be his 11 week birthday, 76 days. Who would have guessed. Apparently we aren't completely crossing off his due date. If all of a sudden Luke figures stuff out, it could happen. I have a feeling we are in for a wild couple of weeks, if all goes well. So keep those prayers coming for us to be home before the cold weather starts to get here. Thanks everyone.

All snuggled in

Gotta love his license plate his favorite nurse brought him.

Didn't even wake up for the move
