Postponed :(

I know...I know, it's been over a week since the last time I posted anything. It's been a busy week. Aiden is doing good, we are patiently waiting for his surgery which has been postponed until Wednesday 3/4. The surgeon that did his original surgery wants to do the reconnection also and he is not available this week. We were upset to have to wait, but at least we know the doctor and are comfortable with him, after all he saved Aiden's life once before. We still don't know if he will do the hernia repair at the same time, we are hoping he will so that Aiden doesn't have to have another surgery and go back on the ventilator a second time - once is plenty!

All cleaned up after his bath on Sunday

"No...you cannot take my binky"

Aiden is still getting 5-10 mls of milk by bottle 4 times a day in addition to his continual feeds of 14 mls an hour. He is getting much better at bottle feeding and is able to pace himself a little more and remember to keep breathing while he is swallowing. He is still having alot of output, but the only fix for that is the surgery and he is still gaining weight good. Last night he was 4 lbs. 13 oz.

This past Saturday was Aiden's baby shower and we have been busy putting all of his goodies away, we officially have everything he needs to come home and boy are we ready! A big thank you to my wonderful sister, sister in law and mother for making his shower so special, and thank you to everyone who came and spoiled little Aiden :) Jeremy spent the last couple days building him a closet organizer so we have plenty of storage and a place for everything, now Aiden really does have a nicer room than we do!

Wednesday's bath night photo

Last night we took an infant CPR class at the hospital and then gave Aiden his Wednesday bath. He still loves bath time and we love that it makes us feel like "real" parents. After his bath I dressed him up all cute in a little outfit and matching hat that Aunt Lisa gave him for Christmas, Jeremy fed him and then we tucked him into bed. He is such a good little boy, he barely cries - just lets out a little complaint now and then. His due date was also on Saturday, so he is officially a term baby! He also turned 3 months old on Monday. He is getting to be such a big boy!
