Happy 16 weeks Aiden...
There isn't much to update on since it's the week end and the new doc in the NICU doesn't come on until tomorrow. We are hoping to have a meeting this week and set the plan in motion to have Aiden looked at by the pulminary specialist and then have the swallow study so we know what is what and can move on from this stand still. Speaking of pulminary, Aiden has been off the oxyger for the better of 2 days now. So I am hoping he will continue to stay off it for good. I know when it comes to bottling he will need a bit to get thim through it, but once he gets it down I think he will be ok. I have faith he will learn to bottle like a normal baby and not have any issues. After all he has been through I can't imagine him having to have to get G-tube put in to eat at home.

Othere then that Aiden has been Aiden, but a little fussy at times. Even when being held. Part of it I think is gas and he's fussy cause he is unfomfortable. But all in all he looks good and is doing well. We just got to get over this current speed bump and move on to the next one.

As for me well I'm tired alot lately and a bit stressed. I'm not sleeping at night no matter how much aI try so getting up in the morning is a killer. I'm doing the best I can though. I know I have to go to work and be there for Aiden, but I know I have to take care of me so i can take care of him. Just some times it's tough to deal with "life" and it's hurdles and take care of yourself the way you should. I can't wait to get to the end of this road.
As a stress breaker, my brother came up this week end and hlped with Aiden's room. I had him draw some of the Animals from his bedding set and I painted them. It looks cute and I'm proud of myself. I found a hidden talent I think. It made me feel better anyways.
And don't worry I used no toxic craft paint so it won't harm the baby, and if and when we buy a house and move some day, we can just paint over it very easily. Now all that is missing is a few pieces of furnature and a wonderful little baby boy named Aiden...
