Out of the Warmer, Into the... Crib

I called over to check on Cooper this morning around 6 am. He was sleeping soundly. He has been eating well. They moved him into the crib/bassinet after the last feeding. This is a great step toward getting him back over here.

UPDATE: We just got back from the NICU. Cooper's abdomen looks so much better today -- not distended at all. I got to change his diaper for the first time. I thought I was going to win the "bonus prize" as I was changing him, but it was a false alarm. We finally saw his neck today! He is a little jaundiced -- combined with the lack of neck strength, it gives him the appearance of a drunken Oompa Loompa -- but it's not severe enough to put him under the lights. His biggest problem right now is that he's too lazy to eat. He falls asleep while eating, so it takes him a good hour to finish a 2-ounce bottle.

On Thursday, he will receive his circumcision (or as I like to call it, the Gentiles' secret shame). We're not Jewish, so a full-blown bris is not in order, but we were thinking a little brunch. We'll serve pigs in blankets before and sans blankets after. Or corn dogs with the tip of the breading removed. We're still discussing it...
