Lots of quality time

Spending our days in Milo's room have been great. I love going to bed and seeing him just 5 feet away. When he gets fussy we can soothe him and we are around during his care times a lot more. He is now up to 3lbs 11.6oz (1690g). He continues to gain about an ounce each day; so he will hit 4lbs before we know it! He can just about regulate his body temperature and when he does hit the 4lb mark he will move up to his "big boy bed" (an open crib). At that point the sky's the limit as far as holding and interacting with him. He is one month old (35 weeks adjusted) and his isolette is   no longer covered with a blanket during the day time. He is up to 32ml of milk every 3 hours and soon he will start taking it from a bottle. John and I went shopping yesterday and bought one of every type of bottle just to make sure we would get one that would work well for him. Our speech pathologist said the dr brown's preemie nipple has worked well for every baby who has used it. Of course while we were shopping we made a registry of all the little things we still need for when milo comes home. It's crazy how much stuff one tiny baby will need its first year!  It is amazing seeing how far he has come and we are looking forward to all the exciting milestones just around the corner. We are hoping he will be home by the end of July just in time for my birthday :)
