5 weeks old and 4 pounds!

Today Luke is 5 weeks old, or 35 weeks gestation if he was still in utero. Tonight, he weighed 4 lbs, 1 oz and they finally moved him into a big boy open air crib. He has been holding his own temperature since they lifted the lid on his isolette awhile ago, but no one ever switched his bed until tonight. The scale on the isolette has been acting up, so we had him out on the regular scale, so another nurse we t and found him a crib. Here are some photos of him from today. He is now on a eat from a bottle two times in a row, then get fed via his tube the third feeding. So, he is eating more often from a bottle, but still doesn't finish every bottle every time. He really is a content baby and I rarely hear him cry. I hope that continues once he is home! :) We still do not know when he will come home, but are so proud of how he is progressing.
