Baby update 4-21...

JOSIAH IS OFF THE CPAP MACHINE!!!! WOOHOO!!! Josiah has now been off the CPAP (the machine that was helping him open his lungs) for a couple of hours and his oxygen levels are great. I actually was able to hold and feed him from a bottle...it was great! It's official - he's a stud!
He still has a tube in his side but it appears that the hole in his lung has healed up so that will be coming out in a few hours. We're excited...hopefully he'll be able to come home in 3 or 4 days. Here are some pictures...and just so you know, if you'd like to leave a comment, just click comment below the pictures and in addition to leaving your comment on the page, it sends both Jamie and I an email.
Hope you like the pictures as much as we do!!!!


This was the first time we've been able to hold him since just after he was born. It was awesome. I (Robbie) fed him and then was able to just hold him for awhile.







He really started opening up his eyes today to...though he didn't really like the flash. :) He'll appreciate the pictures later. :)



I love this picture...he's holding in his pacifier.
