Gettin' chubby!

You're getting so big, Cooper! You weighed 5 pounds 4.5 ounces. Your head measured 31 cm and you were 46.5 cm long! As of a few days ago, you become the grandfather of the unit. You are now the oldest baby and by a long shot. A baby went home after being in the unit for 95 days! We hope you aren't there that long! We were also told that once you come home, we will want to limit those who see you to just immediate family until May. That includes not taking you to church. It will be hard, but we will do anything we can to help prevent you from getting RSV. We were told if you get it, you will likely go back in the hospital and could go back on a ventilator, etc. So, we have to do what is best for you! We want you here for a very long time and to do very well! Breast feeding went well. They want us to do it twice a day. You did well this morning taking your entire feeding. Your evening feeding only went for 5 minutes though so they had to give you some through your feeding tube. Doing great! Love you!
