Tipping the Scales!!

Today a record was set in the Children's NICU... the King of the J4 Small Baby NICU, a.k.a Lincoln Rossman made it over 2 pounds!!! He is officially 2lbs 1/2oz as of last night! Yay! Along with the weight gain are his ever-growing big boy cries we get to hear! We love it! Unfortunately he has a new infection in his urine: e-coli.. but they are treating it with antibiotics again and it hasn't entered his blood stream yet so that is good... Held him for about 3 hours today and did very well.. no de-sats, no bradycardia's, he was sooo content.. putting him back in his isolette made him very angry.. he was kicking and fighting his nurse.. soo funny... Feedings are going very well so far too.. they increase the feeding by .5cc's every other day so tomorrow it will go up again. He got to see Grandma and Grandpa Rossman this weekend and he now understands why his feet and hands are sooo large.. 6'5" 275 lbs is just around the corner for little Linc! Good thing Mom loves to cook!
