New Isolette

Yep, that's about the size of it today; just a new isolette for Zac. Apparently they change these things out every two weeks and so today he got a new one. They are continuing to work on matching the internal temperature to room temperature, and it's now within a degree of that. Well, a degree in Celsius. I don't really know how much that is in real people terms. :)

Also, they upped his food intake to 14ml today. I thought 13ml was the top number, but I guess I was mistaken. He spit up just a little bit of the formula he'd had earlier today while I was holding him, but not a big deal. He's still doing very well and we're finding he is quite strong. While resting on my stomach and chest today, he propped himself up. If I hadn't known better, I would've thought he was holding himself up on his elbows, because that's how it looked.

Now, I know that can't be true, but that's exactly what it looked like. He just decides to completely move himself around whenever it's time for a change, and we see that often. One of the two nurses working with him today told us Zac was their favorite because he's so easy-going and just no trouble at all. Why do I think that's a BAD sign, that once he gets home we'll get the ol' switcheroo? :)
