September 7, 2010 - Learning to eat

Now that Conner has been moved from the NICU to the Special Care Nursery, he is no longer on any medications or breathing support. The doctors let us know that now we just have to wait for Conner to be able to finish his bottles consistantly for 48 hours. Of Conner's 8 feeding/day 6 of them were via bottle today & only 2 were via feeding tube. He gets tired very quickly, so it takes him 30 - 45 minutes to finish (if he finishes.) No pictures today because I spent the day taking care of Conner for the first time. I changed all diapers, gave him all bottles & rocked him to sleep when he was grouchy. It was the BEST day, but I have no pictures of it because I was so busy.
