Oh man-if you think your gardens look bad you should see mine-I just gave up on the weeds a long time ago and they took over a couple of beds-I just couldn't get out and pull them with the heat and being pregnant:(

Betty-we don't have a video camera:( Maybe someday we will get one. Jonathan's progress is great-he just needs to get the feeding thing down to come home. He has reached every other goal they had for him. They do track hius feeding and the nurse is the one with access to the food, so Chris and I are not doing dbl feedings;)

Crissy-LOL about Tiga and the food-Jade won't eat unless she has a full bowl-like she is too good to put her face into hers at all;) Ouch-sorry to hear about your mom!!

Susan-be patient-some places take a couple weeks to get back to people...

Copied and pasted:
Jonathan is up to 5lbs, 12oz, so every day he has gained 1/4-3/4 lb and will soon be over 6lbs:) It was funny yesterday I was holding him and could feel him pooping-then the smell hit and I started laughing at the fact that someone so small could make such a stinkie. Waited to change him til it was bath time (about a half hr) and when I took the diaper off there was so much and it was SOOO super stinky I started laughing again. We got that changed and then I gave him a bath-tried to hurry since he doesn't like it-the nurse gave him a binkiw so he wouldn't cry the entire time-worked well too. Then I put one of his onesies from home on him and tried to breastfeed-he just kept looking at me like "Mom-what are you doing sticking this thing in my face" and after a couple of minutes we decided it wasn't happening-I think he was too tired after then bath. The Dr upped him to 48 ML and added a multi vitamin and iron to his daily diet. The night nurse fed him every other time from the bottle and he took about 25ml each time which is what he took from me for his first feeding as well. He was so pooped after the bath we did the feeding tube for the 2nd one. I haven't posted all the pics so if anyone wants to see more, here is the link again:
