Forrest Update 12/13/09

Forrest has reached the 3 pound mark! We are so excited that our little guy is gaining weight so well. He is also up to 18 cc's per feeding with the possibility of being up to 20 cc's by the end of the day. That is only 10cc's short of an ounce each feeding. He no longer has to be on lipids through his IV because he is getting enough milk to take care of that. So the only thing he is getting through his IV is a vitamin mix. So hopefully once he is done with that the IV can come out. He has been cleared to start wearing clothes. :) They have to be something with snaps so that his leads can come out the sides, but it will be weird to finally have clothes on him.
David and I went up there after church today and he was wide awake. They have moved him up a size in diapers but they are pretty big on him. He has started to show signs of trying to suck so hopefully this next week his suck reflex will really start to define itself.
Last night I was up at the hospital and go this great video of him.
