Sunday, 3/6

Another quiet day today. Dinky lost 70 g and we are thrilled! We were joking with our nurse that I'm sure we're the only parents in the NICU that want their baby to lose weight. The reason it's so good is it means he's getting rid of some of the swelling. You can definitely see it moving down his body. Yesterday it was concentrated a lot around the top of his head and today it has moved down more to his face. He's a puffy little thing! He has been pretty stable overall. Right as we were leaving this evening he had an episode of bradycardia (where his heart rate drops) which was disconcerting because it hasn't happened like that in a while. Hopefully it was an isolated incident.

The big day this week will be Tuesday. The NICU is currently in a temporary location because it is fairly new to this hospital. On Tuesday they will be moving to their permanent location in the children's hospital. It will be much larger than where we currently are. Martin and I haven't seen it yet but will be taking a tour tomorrow, one day before the big move. I am anxious about him and will be glad when it's all over!

One cute thing that happened today...I was trying to move Dinky's arm so that I could look at his hand (to check out his long thumb nail) and he absolutely would not let me do it! He's a strong little booger, especially considering he's on fentanyl! Looks like he inherited some of his mom's stubborness!
