Ethan's new bed

This morning my brother came over early to spend some time with Brayden so Jon and I went to see Ethan. It was an amazing morning! It turns out early this morning they took Ethan out of his isolate and moved him into a little crib. There is no need for the isolate anymore since he maintains his body temperature on his own now. :) They removed his IV...so his arms are free! They have also moved up his feedings to 42ml's and he now weighs 5lbs 10oz's.

This was the first time that I was able to pick him up from his bed to hold him without a nurse in sight. Usually they needed to be there to make sure all his lines didn't pull and etc. First time that I felt in charge or a mom to him...like this is my baby not the nurses. (if that makes sense) Now that the surgery is done with we can start working on feeding him from the bottle again!

Here are a few pictures from this morning.

the only wires he has now is feeding tube and oxygen

His new crib...and if you look close you can see the picture of his big brother that he looks at :)
