Tummy Time & The First Family Picture

Today is Ethan's first day to spend any time on his tummy! The fluids in his belly have gone down enough that they felt comfortable flipping him over. He seems to really like sleeping on his tummy.

We also got to hold Ethan for the first time today, so we took our first family picture! Michael and I even wore matching outfits for the occasion (apparently we are supposed to wear these gowns everytime we hold them, oops!)
So, here's the latest... Grant is getting fed more and more each day and he may get to be in an open air crib soon! Ethan is not feeding yet, but they are hoping to get him started in the next day or two. They lowered the amount of oxygen they are giving him today and, at that rate he'll be off his nasal cannula soon. The doctors seemed really happy with his urine output, and hopefully that will get his belly down some more. All in all, things are going great!

  2. Kara and Michael- Congratulations for a job very well done. Grant and Ethan are really blessed little boys to have you two for parents. How sweet and precious they are. Can't wait to see you again and to meet them in person! Sending love and prayers.
