First of all, please pardon the pun in the title of this blog. Just my "Gene genes" coming out, which they do once in awhile (thanks Dad!).
The Tater Tot is doing really well! As of last night, all of his IVs, tubes, wires etc. were all out. (He's only actually had the IV for the past several days.) He's been breathing on his own since the very first day. He's also eating really well and is up to 35 ml per feeding! I think they still have him under the lights for his bilirubin. Ben and Jamie have some really cute pictures of him where it totally looks like he's just tanning himself! After losing some weight after the birth, which they expected since newborns always do, Tate is back up to 4 lbs. 5 oz. Go little guy and grow! Grow! Grow!
Even though Jamie has officially been discharged, she and Ben continue staying at the hospital to be close to their son. The hospital rents them a room for $15 a night--a great option for them since Newton is a 1/2 drive away! It's nice that the hospital does that, since Jamie needs to feed him so often. So she gets the benefit of being close without all of the poking from the nurses all night long!
I'll post more pictures as I get them this week. Jamie and Ben say thanks to everyone for your support and prayers!

Ah, yes- I remember Kolton 'suntanning' because he was always so cold. I am glad to hear that they are doing well! And congrats on the nursery-provements! I am not sure how we'll do when that time comes, but we have another 7 months to figure that out!
