I was supposed to go home yesterday, but the doctor decided to keep me here in the hospital because my blood sugar has been kinda low. They put me on an IV with a little glucose, and they've been checking my blood sugar every hour or two. They have to prick my foot and I don't like it! :( But I'm tough so it's ok. :) They've also been feeding me some supplemental formula to go along with Mommy's milk. Mommy & Daddy are staying at the hospital with me, so they get to come in the nursery whenever they want and they get to feed me the formula. My favorite part of the day is when they come to see me!! :) My blood sugar has been stabilizing, so the doctor is going to start slowly taking me off the glucose. I'm not sure yet when I get to go home - maybe as soon as tomorrow (Friday). Mommy & Daddy can't wait to take me home!! They will post a lot more pictures of me when they get caught up on sleep!
This is me with my IV.
This is how Mommy & Daddy feed me. I suck on their finger and they feed me with a syringe.
I'm a hungry little fella.
Me giving Mommy kisses! I have the best Mommy ever!! She's my favorite person in the whole world. She says me and Daddy are her favorite men! :)
Daddy telling me stories. Daddy says he can tell I'm the cutest and smartest baby ever in the whole wide world!! Seriously.

You'll all be home before you know it. The thing about the special care nursery is that the ladies there are so caring and very helpful. They want you to go home almost as much as you want to go home:) Alex, you can talk to Anna about her experience in the Special Care Nursery. She didn't care for the IV much but she was a trooper and I know you are too!
He'll grow up to be a stud.
A stud with a stolen name, you curs!
Congrats.
looks like the faithful "Wally lip" once again in the family. Oh, but he wears it so well.
