Courtney and I saw Carter yesterday. He is growing so much every day!  He is now up to 3 lbs , 15oz.  He must be over 4 lbs to go home, so we are very close! He also has to pass a car seat test, where they will check to see if he would still be able to breathe if his head were to roll or drop down, or if he would be strong enough to move it on his own. They allowed him to breastfeed yesterday, weighing him before and after to calculate how much he was getting. He consumed 1 1/2 times what they are currently feeding him! All the nurses came to talk about it and how great it was - he was the buzz of the nicu!  The speech therapist was there to see how he was sucking but after that, there wasn't much she needed to do!  So now they want Courtney to try and be there at every possible feeding time, because that is exactly what he needs to put on weight and grow quickly. They also let us put clothes on him for the first time!!! Of course, it was a little awkward with all the monitor tubes, but he looked so cute wearing his "big boy" clothes!  So excited! They won't give us a date for him to come home, but now they are saying around two more weeks. We are hoping if he continues growing it will be sooner than that!
