Happy Easter

Happy Easter to Caleb!

The Easter bunny came to Children's Hospital at about 5:30 in the morning... that dude is serious about Easter fun! Caleb received a little green rabbit from the bunny.

On this day he had a few visitors, but mostly slept. The O2 sats are still doing fantastic. He is very thoughtful when awake, watching everything, looking slightly concerned. The nurses are still wary of mucking around with his blood pressure, temp and lines as he is still prone to his outbursts. And he's loud! He definitely doesn't have little baby cries--full blown angry baby. Change my diaper will you??

Today Eric got to change his first diaper on his son. I got to feed him a few times (and he dropped a few poopie diapers for me personally) but he did not drink much from me. They've taken him off the suppliments and he's now getting all his nutrition from a combo of breast milk and formula. He just isn't getting the hang of the bottle nipple at all, so they're doing most of it via feeding tube.

As for what Caleb listens to while in the hospital... lullabys, silly songs, toddler dance songs, a few stories (such as 3 little pigs) and just for kicks a little Frank Sinatra, Elton John and Disney Classics. His iPod is loaded with good things to listen to instead of the beep of his machines.

Speaking of machines beeping--this little one cannot seem to keep his hands off of things! He still is grabbing at everything. He has pulled or kicked off nearly all of his monitors at one point or another. He's down to two IV liquids now, and luckily he hasn't touched that one, but today his heart monitors, resp. monitors and O2 monitors have all gone to be stuck on either different body parts or the bed. He loves to have his hands up by his face, and has already found his thumb to munch on.

Yep... that's my baby! The Crankasaurus Rex that likes to foil the nurses. I love him!
