We do! Turns out Zac isn't some little alien child, but rather a cute little guy! While we'd hoped and prayed this would be the case, with all the tubes in him recently there was no guarantee (Dad says with tongue in cheek). :)
Today they pulled the c-pap out at 10:30 this morning, upped the amount of food he gets every three hours to 15ml, and so far, so good. It's about 4:30pm now, so this is 6 hours doing very well. All he has at the moment is the feeding tube, which they've transferred to go in through his nose instead of his mouth. It's a little more comfortable for him there and he's still able to suck on a pacifier if necessary a little bit easier.
Katy and I took the first part of the day to try to relax a bit and and recuperate. We've just been on the go so much, and this has been such an emotional time that we're pretty much drained and have been running on adrenaline. So, in an effort to make sure we are our best for him, we took a little extra time last night and this morning. So when we got here about 4 this afternoon, we were just so excited to see him off the c-pap! That little thing has been driving us crazy because we just want to be able to hold our little guy like everyone else. Katy is holding him right now, getting the chance to look at his face directly for the very first time. :) That's it for now!

Scott and Katy, this is such a cutie, now that we can really see him. And, yes, I think he looks like you, Scott. Can't wait until we can see and hold him.
Love you
