Drew is still coming along well. We had a minor setback yesterday when he was placed back on the bilirubin light, but they think that the return of a higher level is only due to breast milk, which is common for all babies.

Then today when I (Gracie) went in to see him, he was completely breathing on his own! It was pretty short lived...only about 3 hours before they decided to put him back on low levels of oxygen. But it is a start at least. It was pretty exciting to see his whole face without a tube running across it. Hopefully soon he'll be able to be off of it completely!

Dave was able to attend a coffee brewing lab today. He was pretty excited about learning more of the trade he loves. After all, it's what brought us to Chapel Hill a couple of weeks ago. I guess it's only appropriate that he continue his education during our stay. :)

I located a local Creative Memories consultant so I could get some supplies to start on Drew's baby album. I've been struggling with the fact that he still doesn't seem like he's ours yet. It feels like he belongs to the hospital and we just get to visit. So I think starting an album will help in all of the processing I have left to do.

In some ways the past 2 weeks have flown, and in others, it seems like we'll be here forever before we can take our little son home with us. I know it will be over before we know it...and looking forward to that day!
