Hi all!
Thanks for checking on us so often! Andrew is doing great. He is gaining on average aboutg 2 ozs a night. His last weigh in was 5lbs 12.6 ozs. He just looks like a different baby now.
He is doing much better with his feedings. Still a little lazy - which is why he is packingon the weight...he is really not expending much energy! He has nippled on average about 3 bottles a day. Sometimes more and some days not full bottles. He just falls asleep while eating. They have put him on a special bottle to control the flow he gets and doesn't get overwhelmed. We are hoping he'll be home within the next 2 weeks. He has to take every feeding from a bottle for 2 days!
DH and I had prayer cards made up for Abigail. After the service we placed one in Andrew's isolette/crib. The other day I noticed that he always has his head turned to that side of the crib. I thought for a second and then said - well, it is probably just more comfy that way. Then, I noticed that he is always "touching" the card and swatting at it. I made a comment to my mom who was visiting with me the other night. One of the nurses overheard me and said - whenever he is up he is "playing" with the card and swatting and touching it. I seriously had goosebumps - and just started crying. I think his sister is talking to him...I was able to get a picture of him last night...
He is such a cutie. I attached a few updated pictures. DH and I cannot find our charges amongst the chaos...yes our house, actually our office is still not put back together! UGH! These pictures were taken with my cell phone.

Thanks again - and I'll try to keep you updated
