Took Courtney to Springfield today to see little Carter. I know everyone's babies are the cutest babies ever, but THIS one IS the cutest baby ever!!  He had gained back some weight and now weighs 3 lbs. 8 oz. His breathing is somewhat irregular, which they say is normal as long as it doesn't affect his blood oxygen levels. He was having a little issue with spitting up, but they elevated one end of his bed and they now put him on his tummy after feeding and that seems to be helping. They allowed him a short breastfeeding time today under the supervision of a lactation specialist. She was very helpful and informative. The nurses there are so nice, and we see them just holding and cuddling the babies - nice to know when you're not there they really do care about your baby. And Carter stayed awake for about 30 minutes today, which is a goal they have set, so he will eventually be able to stay awake long enough to feed the right amount and not fall asleep before he's done. Courtney is doing amazing at this point. Still a little sore, but walking better and longer
than I thought she would. And her wonderful husband had supper ready for her when we returned!  All in all, a really good day.
