Growing Fast

It's amazing that just a week ago Josh broke the three pound mark because he is quickly closing in on four pounds. Yesterday he weighed 3 lbs 11 oz. In the last few days he has gotten to wear his first set of clothes which fit length wise but are still a little big in some areas. They just increased his calorie intake to 24.5 calories per ounce and they have started adding protein to his milk. The protein will also help him with his water retention as he has become a little puffy. His c-pap was turned down slightly yesterday so hopefully they can begin weaning him off it and get it removed in the next few weeks.

Much to the nurses chagrin he has also had two major diaper blowouts in the last two days. Luckily for mom and dad we weren't changing his diaper at that time :)
