Colby hits 5 pounds!

He is growing like a weed! I think it was Friday night when he hit the 5 lb mark - yea! We are trying to spend a lot of time at the hospital, and trying to get in two practice feedings a day. The nursing is going slow, but Colby is getting stronger, little by little. We still don't have an estimated date of his homecoming, but hope it won't be too much longer. It will be nice to get into a routine at home instead of having to go back and forth to the hospital. I know having him at home will be hard too, but I'm looking forward to having him here. Right now, he is taking 44 mL of milk at each feeding (8 times a day) and the most he has taken from me is 14 mL so we have a ways to go, but maybe this week things will "click" with him.

We will add some new pictures soon!
