Bath Time

We got to help give Duncan a bath for the first time. It wasn't his first bath, just the first time we had been there when they gave one. He did so great. He LOVED it. He isn't ready for a bath tub, so we bathed him in his bed.
Then his nurse wrapped him up to wash his hair. She washed so I could see how to do it, he just loved it.
Eyes wide open the whole time.
The reward- a nice warm bottle.

Duncan is doing really great. He is 4lbs. 7oz. He is gaining about an oz. a day. They are weening his oxygen down and trying to get him off the vent completely. He is almost there. I think in a couple of weeks he will be off of it all together. He is now taking most of his feeds by bottle. I have tried breastfeeding him about 4 times now. He is latching on, but the milk doesn't come out fast enough for him. Yesterday he did really well and I was able to feed him for about 15 min. Today when I tried, he just kept smiling and not really sucking. He was just being funny.
