He's a week old today!!!

More little steps... Ash's little belly button fell off yesterday. Why on Earth I think that is cute, I don't know... He also moved from his bed under a heat lamp to a little enclosed incubater-looking thing since they confirmed with a second blood test that his jaundice is gone. He already seems more comfortable in there - he's been out like a light all day. And he also had his little IV removed. They were giving him additional electrolites and other such liquids, but now he's eating enough milk that he no longer needs it.

The NICU here is now busting at the seams. When we arrived last week, there were only a few rooms taken. Now they have all 6 rooms full (3 sets of twins!) plus one overflow room full and a NICU set up in a regular Labor & Delivery room for yet another family. I think I just heard another baby has now checked in, so they are entirely out of NICU beds. I'm glad they had a space for us when little Ash arrived.
