Yet another day God has given me...Thank you Jesus! So after a night of Mommy dreaming crazy and waking me up for a change, Mom packed me up and off to see Doc. Not so hot on the scale this week...I am down a couple ounces which is not too surprising considering my little fat face episode and my low calorie intake for the week. I am down to 5 pounds 12 ounces. But I didn't plummet so we are ok. We are working on how to get me more calories with less volume and see how I tolerate that. Doc noticed how tired I am and how much this past week took out of me. He also noticed my raspy sounding cry...he said that could be because of my tube. I have been getting a really dry mouth and lips so Mom has to make sure to give me some kind of moisture on my lips and a few drops of H2O in my mouth just to keep me moist. After I visited Doc, I headed to the mall to visit my JC Penney fans and let them do a little 4 month photoshoot. Mom is always telling people about me and the blog so I think we recruited a few more fans....gotta love the fans. 
We headed home and I got my bath. I was pretty tired and I even took my binki for the first time in like a month...I couldn't have it before because of the snot in my face. Mom told me most babies are weaned from their binkis but she wants me to have mine so I can keep working on my sucking....I didn't realize how much I missed that thing until I got going on it....I didn't want her to take it out!Mom did some phone calling to all my wonderful NICU nurses to see if they know the special formula for Mommy's breastmilk to make it 27 cal. Of course they knew...they are awesome. So they gave us the secret formula and now I can try to get more calories in me without all that fluid. We'll see how my tummy does.
Gramma and Grampa took care of us again this evening....they are so good to us. They brought over pizza and some love :) Gramma likes to hold me and I like to be held by her. So it's off to sleepy land for me.
Don't forget Mother's Day! You'll thank me for that reminder later :)

Hello sweet boy. I can't wait to see your 4-month photos. Here's a secret between you and me...my daughter was in 4K and my son in kindergarten before we were able to wean them of their pacifiers (they called them bubbies!). Each mom knows best and your wonderful Mommy will know when you need to let go of your binki. Glad you had special time with your grandparents - there's a reason for the title "grand" parents!
Loving and praying for you from TX - Lynne B.
It was so wonderful to meet you today at JC Penney's! You have a truly beautiful family! I look forward to reading your blog. Your entire family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Cristal,
Jordan and Bella's mom :)
Jacob,
Just checking in on your cuteness. Glad you are feeling better.
Also want to wish your mom a very happy mother's day. She takes such good care of you and your brothers she deserves a special day.
God bless,
