Check out the new digs!

I've been reluctant to post this update because it didn't last very long last time it happened...but it appears that Owen is fully upgraded to a big boy crib. They tried it once before but his temp dropped too much overnight and he had to be moved back in to the Giraffe. It's flippin' cold in the NICU at night though, so I can't really fault him for it. But, he's been back in the crib now for a couple of days, so I feel comfortable that I won't jinx him by letting everyone know.

The only big boy crib in the NICU currently!

Proof that there's an Owen under all of that.

 Also, and I'm knocking on wood as I type this, Owen has gained weight for two nights in a row now, has minimal residuals, no spit up, and is no longer on continuous feed (that's a good thing). We started non-nutritive breast feeding yesterday - it's sort of a practice run for the real thing, with a minimal chance for aspirating - and he took to it really well. And it entirely knocked him out. Nothing quite like a boob to put a guy to sleep.

It's been a busy week for visitors, too. Owen's now met all his grandparents (we're still waiting for him to fill out the scorecard). I'm a bonehead and forgot to give Adam the camera last night while he was visiting with his parents, but I do at least have some shots with my dad.

Chillin' with Granddad.

Showing Granddad how poorly his hats fit. And, soaking in the comfort of an LA Stanley Cup champions shirt. Owen slept through that game, but thankfully my dad still has it on the dvr. I'm thinking of getting a transcript of the game's announcing so I can read it to him as a bedtime story.
