Cannon gets an upgrade....

Saturday night they finally took the plunge and put Cannon in the open air crib. His temperature had been vacillating in the isolette so they weren't sure if he was ready, but they decided to give it a try. He is keeping his temp up like a champ! He is swaddled in 2 blankets and has the afghan on as well as a hat to help him keep it up. He has been pretty warm today so they may take away one of the blankets tonight.
Is there a baby under all those blankets??

I looOoVE this picture even though it is a little bit blurry. His little smile is so cute.

He loves to face his head to the right, so we have been wedging the afghan under his right side so that he has to face to the left. The right side of his face was even starting to get a little swollen from laying on it so much. Yesterday his feedings were increased to 40 cc's (about 1.3 ounces) every 3 hours and they removed his oxygen saturation monitor. So now he just has the feeding tube and heart rate/respiratory rate monitors. Also, now that he is so stable he got moved to a window room - it is much quieter and has more privacy since it is not in the center of all the action.

I can't believe he will be 5 weeks old tomorrow!
