I thought that you all would like to get a quick update. Those of you on
Facebook, and twitter are best to know what's going on with nicholas,
however, sometimes it's good to just update everyone all at once.
First of all, Sabrina created nicholas a website. You can view it here:

http://lovearoundtheglobe.com

Second of all, nicholas has a goal of eight feedings by bottle. He made 2 on
saturday, and sunday he had 2, however didn't want the third. As of right
now we don't know if they gave him the third one and he took it at 11:00PM.
However, if he didn't then we will try it with him again today.
He is eating 46 CC's, just over 1.5 ounces right now. And he seems to be
taking this good however, at times i think they might be giving him a bit
much. At 40 cc's, he starts to get sleepy and is normally out by 45 cc's,
the 1.5 ounce mark. But, may be they are feeding him enough.

We also learned yesterday that nicholas ways 5 pounds. Yep, that's right he
went down to 3 pounds 14 ounces, however, is back up to 5 pounds. I think
it's because his favorite nurse returns tuesday and he wants to way a lot
for her, smile.

Right now we don't know when we will get to go home, however for the sake of
all our sanity we hope soon. I told the nurses at the nurse station that "I
hope we don't have to see you for much longer," and they laughed and said
they hope so as well. If all goes to plan then i guess we should be home or
headed home on the first.

Anyways that's a quick update for you all so you know what's going on. Keep
an eye on

for updates.
