3 Pounds!!!

We hit three pounds today! And he took his big boy pacifier (notice how small he is in relation to the normal sized pacifier), and we put the preemie one in the baby box. Two little milestones we're very happy about. Tomorrow he gets a chest x-ray and labs to assess where he is at. The surgeon came by and took a look at him for the hernia surgery and said he is still too small to have surgery...but the hernia is still easy to move so it isn't a rush anyway. The bottom pictures are a quick shot without the "snorkel" looking mask, just giving him a quick break from it before we moved him back in the isolette. They said they might try him back on the nasal cannula soon. Hopefully he'll stay on it this time.
