1 Month Old

 I woke up this morning with some mixed emotions of excitement and sadness that the Monkey is already 1 month old. It has gone by a lot quicker than we expected it to, probably because he is doing so well. Not only is he doing a great job learning to nurse (We aren't quite there but getting to so close), but he is back on his fortifier and beginning to gain weight again he is up to 3lbs 7oz (he lost a little when they took him off his IVs). Truman is transitioning from body temperature heat to room temperature, this basically means that his isolette was heated and controlled by a temperature probe on Truman's tummy that would check his temp and adjust the isolettes heat to either warm or cool him.... now his isolette temp is set by his nurse and when they check his temp they adjust the isolette accordingly. This process gets him ready so that he doesn't get cold when they transfer him to a crib! Here are some "1 month birthday" pictures. We hope you enjoy!

I can hold my own Bink!

I can't get enough of Daddy!

Here are two pictures to show you how much Trumy has grown in just a month!
