Ari is doing very well on the nasal cannula. He has finally hit the 3 lb mark and he looks incredible. He looks more and more like Luca every time I see him. His hair is turning blonde from the dark brown it was when he was born and he is just so precious. He is up to 27 ml every 3 hours and he hates dirty diapers. He has wide feet and when he is mad he let's you know it. We did non nutritive breast feeding for the second time and he latched right on. The nurse said that was the best latch she had ever seen at his age so I have no worries about his ability to breast feed. He just needs to get the suck and swallow and breathe reflex which I guess preemies get around 35 weeks. He is almost 33 weeks old. He was trying to suck on my hair and was holding on to my hair and I loved it. I wanted nothing more than to take him home. It felt like the most natural thing in the world.
