Almost 5 1/2 pounds...

Nolan is growing like weed! He's gained almost 1/2 pound in three days. Nice work Nolan! He's been eating like a champ. They haven't had to use his feeding tube in more than 48 hours since he has been taking everything through his bottle. It's so great to see how far he's come with his feedings. You can just see him getting stronger and stronger. Now the only thing that is keeping him in the NICU is the small amount of oxygen that he continues to need to support his breathing. They keep telling us that him learning to breath will turn on like a light switch. All of the sudden he'll do it and not need any assistance. He's almost there but the light isn't completely on yet! He's looks so great compared to two weeks ago and we are being hopeful that he's on the home stretch. We are really excited to have him come home and hope that it's really, really, really soon. Maybe I can pry into his nurse today for an estimate of when he'll come home!! :)
