We made it to the hospital in time for rounds and it was a quick update today because our little guy had a great night. There was some conversation regarding the incubator vs. crib but ultimately the decision was made to keep him in the incubator while initially playing with his feeds. The thought is that he won't have to work to maintain his body temperature, which means his body will focus only on digestion and growing. It's more important that we make the feeds work for him, so the transition to the crib will wait a bit. I won't lie, I was initially sad about this decision but realized that this is the right way to do it for a higher chance of success. No need to fuss around with too much at once.
Mommy and Wyatt got to kangaroo (and nap!) for quite a while today. Our little guy loves to snooze on mommy. He snuggles in and falls asleep quickly. He loves to sleep with his face smushed down, nose to mommy's chest. This makes mommy super anxious but the nurses always say he looks great, sounds great, and sleeps great. Can't ask for much more!
While we were there today, little man started sneezing a bunch and snooters were flying all over that incubator. It was comical. The nurse doesn't think it's a cold or anything, she thinks it may be from the change in feeds. His food is coming in a bit quicker, so it may be irritating his nose a bit or it could be some reflux. She will keep an eye on him through the night to be sure it's not a cold. 
All in all, another great day!
XO,
Lori, Brian & Wyatt
