More Grandpa Love

Matthew has enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa Barr (although Grandma Barr has had no more success getting him to sleep in his crib than we did!) We went in to visit James last night, but he was sound asleep, so we didn't stay too long.

Matthew also had a good night of sleep (in the car seat in the crib) -- we put him down around midnight or 12:30, and he slept all the way until 5:30. He woke up and fussed a little then, and he probably would have gone back to sleep with his paci, but I was sure he must be starving so I got him up to feed him. (In fact, he didn't seem to be starving, so next time I'll let him go back to sleep!)

I visited James today for a couple of hours while Grandma watched Matthew. He's still doing fine with his feedings (3ml/hour); he had a little spit-up this morning, but only a tiny amount after he got mad, so they're not concerned. He's been a little more fussy than usual recently, but his nurses think it's because he's bored (or because he wants his pacifier but isn't good at keeping it in his mouth by himself -- it seems like he's very close to getting his thumb into his mouth, so maybe he'll discover that soon and it'll substitute for his paci.). I suspect they're right about him being bored -- he seems very aware of his surroundings, so I can see why he would want a change of scenery! (It reminds me of being on hospital bed rest. Even with TV, the Internet, and visits from Mike, I was still going a bit stir-crazy.) That makes us all the more eager to get him home, but of course we don't have any choice but to be patient. Or in his case, to be a patient. :)
