Jackson is doing well. They removed his nasal gastric tube yesterday (basically a feeding tube). His IV came out a few days ago and now he is just wearing heart and breathing monitors and is doing great. He is back up to his birth weight and is taking his bottles and nursing well. This past week we have been to the hospital two times a day and I'm not sure what our schedule will be like for the next several weeks. We can be there in the NICU 22 hours a day if we want to, but we can only hold, feed and change him every three hours so we try to be there for at least two care times during the day.
I am recovering well, but my feet are still swollen to twice their normal size and I get tired pretty easily. Other than that, I'm hanging in there. Enjoy the pictures :)

Beautiful boy to quote the Beatles. Take care of yourselves! It is easy to over do it after you have a baby. We are so glad that he is here and safe and doing well. You are still in our prayers.
