Cooper, Cooper, Cooper! What an evening! Daddy and I gave you your second tub bath, but it was our first time giving it to you. We tried our best to wash you quickly. You loved the bath, especially when we scrubbed your head with the toothbrush! Daddy dried you off. Just before getting your bath, your diaper was down and SQUIRT! you let a big squirt of poop out that went through the air and hit the bottom side of your incubator and slide down the window of it. We were laughing so hard! Talk about force! After your bath, Daddy held you skin-to-skin, but for some reason you just kept wiggling. Then, you spit up. When the nurse checked, she discovered you pulled your feeding tube out from all your wiggling. I was so worried it was going to happen and then it did. They decided to put a new one in through your nose since they were going to move it there eventually and since your nose is big enough now. Also, when they put you on Daddy's chest, we laughed because you tried sucking on his skin. Wrong person, Buddy! Daddy and I put a preemie outfit on you that I picked out and it was way big on you (and to think I thought it looked like it would fit cause it was so small)! After you went to sleep, we left. We loved being with you and are so glad you're ours. Grandma Smith came to see you get your bath, too! She comes up as often as she can. She LOVES seeing you and can't wait until she can hold you!
Milestones - Back up to 2 pounds 13 ounces. Being put on regular fortified milk with all the calories. First tub bath for Mom and Dad! Developmental therapist thinks you're doing well! We read that on December 2nd when you were checked last that you had the muscle tone of a 30 week old!
