Nicolas was moved into a bed yesterday and out of his isolette. So he's exposed to room air and room noise. Man, those nurses are pretty gabby but he doesn't seem to notice. He's sleeping most of the time and has the habit of waking a half hour ahead of his feed schedule -- we are adjusting accordingly. :-)
Last weekend was the first one he spent in the Kent NICU and it was a very exhausting one for us as he was having a lot of apnea spells. Luckily, since then, we have had some better days and are enjoying holding him more and more. He's currently 3 lbs and 5 ounces - which I think means he's almost doubled his birthweight (u do the math - I'm lazy - there's a chart in the middle of this page).
Yesterday I noticed he could lift his head while on his belly -- and then he changed the side he was facing in the crib! It's great and strange to see him do these things now -- as we have been so used to him being still. He's also acting more like a normal baby - each time we place him back in bed he cries and cries for a few minutes and then, of course, he is out like a light in complete exhaustion. :-)
We are loving every minute of it.
