Jonathan did really good yesterday!! Called the nurse in the am to see hos he did the rest of the day on Fri and and early Sat am-he took 100% of all his feeds by bottle and scored 3 (the highest score, they go 1-3) on 5 of the feeds and 2 on 3 of them. The 2's were because 2X he took over 20 mins to feed, 25 for 1 and 30 for the other, and the 3rd 2 was because he had 2 alarms as he fed. Him having a couple of feeds that take too long will not keep him from coming home-alarms will though. He gained another oz, so he is now at 6lbs, 10.5oz. He took all of both of his feeds I did in under 15mins and no alarms, so we had success. For the 2nd feed I gave him 1/2 his bottle B4 his bath and the other 1/2 afterwards. He was not happy about the bath, but not as bad as last time. I took in our tub that Judy and LK got us and put the little hammock thing in it for newborns. I must not have had it tight enough because he kept sliding down until his head was almost at the place where his butt was supposed to be;)LOL I got some moisturizing baby wash because the hospital is dry and his skin has been dry. It was oatmeal and vanilla. I went to squeeze some on the cloth and realized it had a seal. There wasn't a little tab to get it off, so I used my teeth to get it off and got some in my mouth-YUCK-took me about 4 hrs to get the taste out and didn't have time to do much about it when it happened since he was so unhappy. The nurse took a pic of him in the tub (with me in it-not flattering) and then I took a pic of just the nekked baby and as soon as I snapped the pic he started peeing!!LOL He must have shot it about 2' and got his towel, his outift, the counter and the top of a cart that had drawers in it-we started cracking up. He didn't get himself though, so I just rinsed his winkie and got him out of the tub onto a clean towel. It is always kinda chilly in the rooms there so he was shivering by the time I got his diaper on, got lotion all over him and got him dressed-poor Little Buddy:( I fed him the rest of his bottle and got a huge burp out of him and when I went to reposition him, he spit up and it happened to be aimed just right so it went down my shirt, between my boobs and pooled in the middle part of my bra!!LOL I swear-what aim he has with his bodily functions!!LOL We put him back in his crib after that, covered him with a couple extra blankets and put a hat on his little head to try and get him warmed back up and back to sleep. As long as he keeps up his feeds, the only thing we have to worry about are the alarms B4 he can come home. My mom is coming on Wed and Chris put in for his weeks vacation that starts on Wed as well...so we are really hoping he can come home by this next Fri at the latest....if you pray, please do so and if not, please cross your fingers...

I posted a pic of he and I in his bath, but figured the nekked baby photo might not be appropriate, but if you want to see the most recent pics, I uploaded them into Picassa:
