Here is Ben under the Bili lights and before he got out of his incubator. Monday he was able to maintain his temp on his own, and he has been in a big boy bed ever since.

He still has the feeding tube in his nose, but he has started to feed well enough on his own to count them. We are hoping to make it 24 hours of no tube feedings by tomorrow morning so we can finally go home! The last two pictures are without his feeding tube because he pulled it out. We have to bundle him up tight since he managed to pull it three different times, and doesn't like it to have put back in. Hopefully tomorrow it will be out for good and then he can comfort himself by putting his hands where ever he wants! In most of his Ultrasound pictures he has had his hands by his face, and when left to do what he wants, that is usually where they are. He appears to be very easy going, and doesn't cry much... we shall see if that stays true when he gets home!
