It's been a great Friday the 13th!!!

Cooper will be 33 weeks tomorrow and we can officially begin to breastfeed!!! I'm stoked!!! We did two practice sessions today and I'm really hoping that he is able to eat as well as he's been able to just play on my nipple :) He is definitely correlating his mouth with food now and will begin to suck on his hand and get fussy when its time for a meal. His cries are just precious (ask me how I feel about them in 6 months or so...just joking) and his face gets all scrunched up when he's hungry...

He's doing really great in the transitional unit and we have so much more freedom and privacy. Of course, they had to be strict in the NICU but in the transitional unit, we are able to hold him whenever we want and for however long we want provided that he is stable. Also, with him being in the open air crib now its so much easier to change his diaper, clothes, and swaddle him. Plus, I can kiss his cute little forehead like a million times a day now :)


Bree made Cooper this little hat :)

    I'm so happy to see Cooper in his hat. I was worried it would be too small. I'm glad he has some room to grow into it. I love seeing him in his crib and great to hear he's learning to breastfeed. All such wonderful news, Jen!
