[blparent] still in seattle, with a baby Nicholas update

[Michael Babcock]

this is a quick update to let you all know what's going on. We are still in seattle, mainly because the doctor and nurses want nicholas to do his best when he goes home. They want him to drink 8 complete bottles, about 2 ounces each, before they will let us go home. This is in a day. He got up to 6, and he just had a bad day, so the next day they dropped us back down to 2. He did his 4, to the best of my knowledge yesterday, so today's goal should be 5 bottles. Followed by 6, etc tomorrow and onward. However, if he gets back to 6, and they try to drop him back down to 2 again, i feel i might ask if they drop him, to not do it so much as obviously he can do 4 for say because he's done it twice. However, lets hope it doesn't come to that.
The doctor said that we should be home "with in a week or less, but way before his original due date", this is april 21st. So, i will let you know when we get to bring the little guy home. He's getting bigger though, as of yesterday morning, his weight was albs, 2 ounces, 2 lb. in just under a month, not to bad. He's also 19 inches long.
Well, here's to us getting to go home to alaska soon.
