Day 24.
Darin and I took some time to ourselves this evening. Darin has been up in the NICU very late the last 5 evenings. I take the day shift and Darin takes the evening shift it seems.
Andrew lost his PICC line this afternoon, he loves having two free arms now. This is a great step forward for Andrew. Last night his weight was 1140 grams - tonight it's up to 1150. He has also quite a bit taller this week at 15 inches!
He is looking pretty handsome these days with his clothes and hat. The nurses seem to like to dress him. The OT saw Andrew today and said that is muscle tone is appropriate for his age and his strength appropriate for his size. Andrew now sucks on the pacifier a little while he is getting his feeding. However, grandnana Sara does not think that he likes it in his mouth very much. He is such a sweet and precious boy and just melts my heart.
Darin puts on a button up shirt even on the weekends and says he is wearing his kangaroo shirt. He is hopeful that it is his day to kangaroo. What a great dad!
I have one less tooth this evening with 9 stitches in my mouth after my trip to the endodonist.
Good night! Keep praying for Andrew.

He is such a big boy with his eyes open and a hat on. I am so proud of him. You guys are doing such a great job with him. He is lucky to have such sweet and loving parents. He has probably logged the most visiting hours in the NICU.
