11 days old today!!

I cannot believe that Lane is eleven days old today. Time is flying by way to fast. Not a lot of new stuff going on today. We weighed him earlier and he is down to five pounds four ounces now. I wish you all could see him. He is the most precious little angel you have ever seen. He sleeps with his hands in a praying position right by his face...it is so cute! At two I am suppose to insert his ng tube for the first time. We have to learn that before we are released. We are getting so close to coming home. Only a few more things and we are ready to roll. It is looking like Tuesday or Wednesday. I cannot wait to show him off to all of you. :) We are still waiting for the last genetic test so please continue to pray for that. I also ask that you all send up a prayer that his sleep study goes well on Monday so he doesn't come home on an apnea monitor. I know your prayers work and appreciate so much all the ones you all have already said. You should see the carseat Lane is coming home in. It is called an angel rider and is made so he can lay on his side in the car. It is so neat. I am a little nervous about bringing him home. It is not going to be like having a healthy baby at home. We still have to cath every three hours and do his ng tube. We also will most likely be waking him up to eat instead of the other way around. It's amazing but his prematurity has had some effects on him. Being only four weeks early I had not expected any effects. The prematurity could be causing the swallowing issue with bottle feeding and he has to be snuggled or his body temperature drops. It also is the cause of him sleeping through his feeding. I think that is all I have at the moment but i will let you all know how the ng tube goes this afternoon. Thanks for all your prayers. God Bless you all!
