Hi All,
Caden has been doing extremely well, weighing in at 1.98kg! On Wednesday he started breastfeeding and he latched well but didn't eat a lot as prem babies get tired very quickly. It's also the first time that he actually tasted milk! Yesterday though he ate very well and today he's going to drink twice! If that goes well they'll try 3 times tomorrow! He's working so hard and we are so incredibly proud of him. It's so cute, he drinks for a couple of seconds, then he's exhausted and falls asleep, so we try to wake him, then he gets a bit of a fright and starts sucking immediatly again, and so the cycle continues.
We saw dr. Vermaak this morning and he told the nurse to drop his oxygen a couple of times today so that he can get use to it. He also said we need to get him ready for home now, so yay! Maybe next week we'll be posting with a beautiful baby boy by our sides! Thank you so much again for all the prayers and positive thoughts. It is because of this that Caden is doing so incredibly well! Can't wait to post on Sunday and tell you that he is over 2 kg and hopefully off the oxygen!
Wes and I are going to the 94.7 Comedy Jam tonight to celebrate our anniversary and we're really looking forward to it! We know this will probably be one of the last times we can go out without looking for a baby-sitter, so we're gonna enjoy it and then come home to prepare for one of the happiest days of our lives!!!
Hope everybody has a great weekend!
Love
Elriza & Wes

A star is (has been) born!! Well done Caden lad - can't really say I'm surprised - your face clearly shows that you're a VERY determined young fella so, go for it boy.
I cannot foresee any problems finding a babbysitter. After all, what are Grandparents for??
Love you boy
Oh-Paw
