He's getting bigger!

My baby brother Dex is doing well. He's up over 4lbs. and graduated from the isolet to the water bed and now a cot. Turns out he's a real champ at staying warm. I haven't met him yet but hear that he's got quite the voice. Mom went in to visit him and he had three soothers in his bed. Not a good sign. The nurse let Mom know that he was disrupting the other babies. He has started to bottle and breastfeed a little bit. He's still working out coordinating sucking, swallowing and breathing but is doing pretty good given that he's just 33 weeks gestation.
He had the dreaded eye test and thankfully the results were great. No follow up required. Unfortunately the head ultrasound will require a follow up because he had some fluid on his brain. The hope is that the fluid will be absorbed back in by the time they repeat the ultrasound on June 2nd. Mom spends here days cuddling with Dex while I'm at daycare and after they tuck me in at night Mom and Dad head back to the hospital together. I'm excited to meet him. Hopefully it won't be too long from now.

I'm a big brother!

My baby brother Dex Ethan was born on Mothers Day after Mom spent 4 days in the hospital and Dad spent a week being Mr. Mom. Dex is 3 pounds 11 ounces and will be staying in the hospital for at least a month. I am happy to have Mom home and am excited to meet my brother soon! His face is a little red but apparently this is much improved from the purple swollen face he had at birth. He made a face first entry in to the world but thankfully he was so small a c-section was avoided!








Oh and a couple of me playing in the sprinkler in our backyard!

Fun with Grandma!

Thanks Grandma for a great weekend! I miss you already!
