After they took out the IV they checked his blood sugar a few times & it was really good. I think one reading was 104 & it is supposed to be over 50 for his age. I'm so relieved that is ok - I had been so stressed out about my gestational diabetes and how it was going to affect him.
Blake had a brief sleep apnea episode last night when his heart rate when down & he forgot to breathe for a little bit. The nurse said this is very common & it's good that he started breathing again without any intervention.
His bilirubin is up a little bit again to 13. They said it's on the borderline of whether to put him on lights or not - they'll see how it is tomorrow.
Blake weighs 5 pounds 5.9 ounces today. He had a couple really good feedings today (50 cc's! in the morning!), but then was too tired to eat the other times so they fed him through his little feeding tube that goes down through his nose.
Blake got to wear clothes once they put him in the crib. He's all bundled up on a long sleeve t-shirt, polar fleece sleeper, 2 blankets & a knit hat. He looks like wants to go play in the snow. :) The nurse said the next 24 hours are really important to see if he can keep his temperature up above 97 degrees on his own. His temp was 98 degrees at 9 pm, so he was doing good so far.

Look! No IV!
Cozy with Dad.
