Oops.. Forgot that I didn't have a glove on.

We hung out with Max for a while today. He got to cuddle with Mum today while he ate. He still has the CPAP, so his cuddle times are still a bit of a balancing act, but today we managed to get that almost perfect position where the tubes were resting in all the right directions so as to not put too much pressure on his little nose.  All in all, it was a good time and he showed off is cute chubbiness as he has tended to do lately.  There's not much else to report. He's stable with his breathing, doesn't have any episodes unless you  harass him, and basically just sleeps, eats and poops all day like any other baby. Dad "accidentally" touched Max's cheeks with his bare hand and was very happy with the softness, and baby-like texture of his wonderfully rosy cheeks.  Just before we left, Max said "Bye!" by having his numbers dip a bit for us.  He really doesn't like it when we leave him. Very soon, we'll be visiting him more times per day to take part in more and more of his day's routine and will most likely have to have our mail forwarded to the St. Boniface NICU as we'll be there for most of our waking hours.  We're looking forward to his further progress and are excited to see him act and feel like what one expects with a newborn.  He's adorable and awesome.
