santoki77 Yay! What a great update!! So glad things are going well. Do they have a time limit for him to eat the bottle? Tins had to eat her 35ml within 30 min. They said any time spent over that was burning more calories than she was taking in. They also limited my breastfeeding because we didn't know how much she was eating for sure. How are they measuring that for you? I'd love to nurse at home, but I'm afraid she won't get enough.
Once the babies get it, they just get it and run with it. Elliot will be there and chowing down like a little porkster before you know it!! I am SO looking forward to when you are able to post that he can come home!!
When was your original due date? I think our little ones were pretty close to being due at the same time. Tins was due on June 9th, but was born at 34+6 and is now two weeks old.

Amazing progress! Thank you for sharing. It sounds like you are doing a wonderful job of taking things one day at a time, which I'm sure is easier said than done.
gilder40, no time limit re bottles right now bc he hasn't finished a full one yet. Making him regulate his temp is hard work so he's been pretty sleepy (which means no bottles and just "hanging out" on the nipple v. real sucking).
For breastfeeding, they asked how good his latch was and whether I thought he got something so we conservatively estimated only 5cc total and he got the rest through NG tube.
Yeah I heard that one it clicks it really clicks. It usually takes him a day or two to get used to something so hopeful he'll be more awake tomorrow.
My original due date was June 13, born at 31w1d, now 5w3d (36w4d). He's getting so close
Baby Elliott (technically) due 6.13.2015 but born via c-section on 4.12.2015 at 31w1d after 31d of hospital arrest (think house arrest) for monitoring.

Our babies are super close! My original due date was June 9th, but she was measuring closer to a June 13th due date.
I'm so incredibly excited for you. He's getting so close to coming home!!! You are such a trooper and an amazing mama! Still thinking about you and praying for y'all daily!!
