Today Lauren got to hold Ezra, kind of. While the nurse was changing the bedding, Lauren got to pick Ezra up and hold him above the bed, he cried the whole time. Someday she’ll be able to really hold him, but for now its better than nothing. Feeding is still going well, he eat part of his bottle but falls asleep so quickly the rest is given through his feeding tube. Once he is able to finish his bottles the feeding tube will come out. He still is really sleepy, but that is normal for a newborn. He always brings his hands up close to his face just like we saw him in his ultra sounds.
Lauren’s family were sick today, so they weren’t able to come visit today. They got checked out to make sure that they wouldn’t be contagious. Hopefully we will see them on Monday. Were are starting to get into some routines around here and make our room more of a home.
Monday most of the doctors should stop by to see Ezra so we hope to hear some good news about Ezra’s progress over the weekend.
Some pics of the day, if you click on the pics you can browse through them.

January 9, 2011 at 8:38 pmMy prayer is that God would make Ezra into a real life Wolverine. Not the kind that plays football at the University of Michigan, but the kind that has special powers to heal almost instantly. Plus, the Marvel comic book character likes to smoke cigars, so I’m thinking the little guy would fit right in. And actually, Emmy pointed out Ezra’s rather impressive bicep in one of the photos, so he’s looking like a superhero already. We love you guys.
