What a difference a couple of days can make in my life, let me tell you! I have started eating some on my own now... well, eating in my little way not the same as you. Yesterday they started giving me formula/milk through a tube from my mouth into my little tummy and they fed me a tiny bit at a time around the clock. I guess they weren't so sure how my belly would do with the new food, but since I'm so tough I did just fine and by today they were giving me feedings on a schedule. So now my fantastic nurses feed me through the same tube but I get fed every three hours. I still have an IV which gives me stuff that is good for me until I can take all the nutrients I need from larger feedings of milk. :-)
Today was also another big day for me because I did so well breathing with that C-PAP in my nose that my doctors and nurses decided to give me a break from having that bulky thing in my nose (and I hate it by the way... I try to pull it out all the time) so they put a little canula in my nose for 3 hours and I LOVED that. I admit that by the end of the 3 hours I needed my C-PAP back, but I only use it for 6 hours then I get another 3 hours with the nose canula. YIPPEE!!! So when I had the canula in tonight I got to snuggle with Mummy.
They put me right on my Mummy's chest so that my skin could touch hers, and I loved that so much. I could smell her and feel her and I was awake for a little bit then I snuggled in and fell fast asleep. I was kind of annoyed when that nurse moved me - I'm not sure she understood what I was trying to say with my little cry...but I do believe she got the message!!! Tomorrow I get to have a little Kangaroo care cuddle with Daddy skin to skin. I can't wait!!
bye for now! ;-)

Hey Little Man,
You sure know how to make a dramatic entrance! You are in my thoughts and prayers every day.
All my love,
Auntie Tinkershell
Welcome little Ethan! Your momma waited a long time for you, and I guess you just couldn't wait to meet her, and your Daddy, too. You keep up the good work and keep growing stronger each day. We look forward to meeting you real soon. May your angels watch over you and give you strength with each wonderful day of your new life.
All our love,
Sharon, Andrew, Hunter & Tucker
Welcome little buddy. I have waited may years for a nephew and for my boys to have another cousin and here you are.
It was great to visit with you the other day and you look so good, getting stronger by the day so just hang in there.
Soon you'll be home with Mom and Dad and maybe you'll be over Auntie Tracy's for Christmas.
Till I make my next trip north to visit you, be well and take care of Mon and Dad, OK?
Love,
Uncle Cliff
Alright - you've been out for a while now ! Time to start writing like a grown up !!! Keep the updates coming - First Hindi word: Kiddah ! Means 'wassup?'
Wow...how tiny and beautiful you are! Do you know?...you are so lucky to come into this world with such a loving Mum and Dad. Get strong; there is a whole world of adventure out there just waiting for you.

Hi sweetie
You are so beautiful! People have been talking and it sounds to me that with your attitude and strenth you will be just fine. Rachel wants to be your babysitter, but I told her she would have to wait a couple of years. You see she is only seven.
We can't wait to meet you, and we are praying for you all the time. We love you, so stay strong!
Carolyn
