Starting to look like a baby

Trout is making a subtle transformation as he puts on a little weight, has more and more tubes and wires removed and has some of his features fill in and he is starting to resemble a regular baby now, or at least he is to his parents. Rose is getting to hold him daily while he wears a little hat and warm blanket and gets to paw Mom's boobs and though he is still on caffeine to help him remember to breathe (important!) he seems to be having fewer episodes of apnea and bradycardia as he matures. Hopefully these will start to dissapear altogether by the time he is 34-35 weeks along. We also get to take his temp and change his diapers when we visit (how long before these chores lose their charm I wonder ;)) and today we may even give him his first bath! Mom's milk has come in strong which makes us both happy as it is about the only real contribution we can make to his health and well being right now. Very frustrating and heartbreaking at times but he's under the best care so what else can we do? Besides eat all the tasty lasagna our friends have been baking up of course...mmm mmmm. We've received a truly humbling amount of support from around the country (and England) and can't wait to repay everyone with a healthy little bouncing nephew who will undoubtedly want to borrow money from them later on in life. Come on Unka Sean!
