Thurs. Nov. 8th

Today was my original pregnancy due date, it creates some odd feelings in me, but Luke was a superstar nurser today, which helped my spirits a lot!! I also gave him a real bath today. He liked it at first, then he wanted out. It was wonderful getting him all fresh and clean.
He is down one more notch on his high flow nasal cannula, getting closer to moving to the low flow. He has taken half of his feeds by bottle and he is down to a 1 hour duration on the balance of his food, close to the 30min norm. Hopefully he'll take more and more by bottle and nursing, so he won't need the feeding tube. He is also growing out of his preemie clothes and he is out of the newborn size diapers.
Luke looks really good, it's nice and encouraging to see him doing so well!!
