President's Day Update

Zac is getting pretty close to being out of the isolette. They've lowered the temperature a degree just since this morning when we first arrived, and he is maintaining body temperature without trouble. The nurse this afternoon said he might be in a crib by late tonight if this keeps up.

His feedings are the same, but he's handling them well so we're hopeful he gets to move toward the bigger, shorter period feedings by tomorrow. Our worship pastor, Matt, and his wife and kids came by this morning to visit, which was very nice and appreciated. It's fun to get to show off your child once in awhile and we haven't had that opportunity as much as we normally would if he'd been full-term. :)

Nana Nell came by and took Katy and me to lunch, then spent a few hours here with us as Katy headed off to handle a bookkeeping job for her side business. In the cafeteria today, they were selling big cookies with pictures of a president copied onto the icing. We didn't have one, since we have some Gandolfo's cheesecake sitting at home in the fridge, but they did look worthy of eating just for the pictures alone. Zac has had a really good day, and though he sleeps pretty much all the time, it's still nice just to sit with him and hold him for a few hours each day. Can't wait until he reaches that point where he interacts with us more!
