Holden "weighed in" today at 4 lb. 13 oz. Doctors are increasing the calories he gets per feeding to help him put on some more weight. He did pretty good with his bottle last night, taking 30 ccs by mouth. His new goal is 41 ccs per feeding. So he is taking baby steps, but going in the right direction!!Mommy and Holden have been enjoying time together this afternoon in our new room on the 7th Floor. We practiced something called "Kangaroo Care," which is basically skin to skin contact. Mommy played the Baby Einstein Lullaby Classics CD, while Holden made himself comfortable and feel fast asleep. The 7th floor seems calmer and definitely offers more privacy. The room has "mood" lighting, a window and even a comfortable reclining chair so we can put our feet up. We're looking forward to spending some time with Daddy this evening.

Glad to hear Holden is putting on weight. He looks so cute in this latest picture (and in every one before). We applaud mommy & daddy for keeping the faith while watching this precious one fight his battles. God has been watching over him. Our prayers continue for strength for all of you and for Holden to soon be able to go home and meet his big brother Alex!
