Moving along...slowly

We have decided that Logan just really likes to do things on his own time. He has his own adgenda it seems. He decided he was ready to be born way before it was time, and he has not stopped controlling everything around him! We were told at the beginning of the week that he would be moving to the stepdown unit this week because he is doing so well...but then he decided that he wasn't ready to leave all of his girlfriends down in the NICU and made it so they have now decided not to send him until next week. It is a little disappointing. We are very attached to the nurses in the NICU, but we are also eager to get him home. Everyone in the NICU is not talking about him leaving because they don't want to admit that he's actually going to leave either!
Logan has now been in the NICU for 101 days. Meghann's due date was this Sunday, so we are hoping he will move upstairs around that time. He still has a lot of work to do before he can come home. He is now in an open crib and still in a cannula. He is able to eat a little bit from a bottle (about 8 mL) once a day. Because of his lung issues and small size (still only 3 and 1/2 pounds) he gets really tired when he eats, so it is taking awhile. Patience is a virtue, right? We have been able to put him in the bathtub a few times, so that has been fun. He makes a lot of noise when we do it, but we don't think he really minds. Just likes to hear his own voice! He still likes to be read to and rocked. He really likes his bouncy seat and took a 3 hour nap in it yesterday! And he is now loving to be held. At night, he fusses just so the nurses will pick him up and cuddle with him (which they do of course! We are so lucky to have them). We have a feeling Meghann andLogan will be spending a lot of time in the rocking chair when he gets home... His nutrition is still a major issue for him. His bones are still very brittle, so we get a little nervous about participating in his care. But we still do everything we can with him. It is getting harder and harder to leave every night. He is getting cuter by the day. We promise to get some new pictures up as soon as we can.
As always, please continue to pray for our wonderful little boy. And thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the support.
Love,
Meghann, Lance and Logan
