It's almost time to go to McDonalds!

No, we are not going to lunch! The nurse used this phrase instead of the 4 letter 'h' word. Yesterday during my visit to see the little guy, I was informed that he had taken ALL of his feedings by a bottle. THIS IS HUGE! As long as this continues, he will be on his way to McDonalds. They are going to circumcise him sometime this week and with that, there is a chance that his oxygen saturation will drop a bit, it is quite a traumatizing experience for a little guy. If this happens, he will go back on oxygen, but most babies recover within 24 hours. Since we have not yet had our baby shower, we are now scrambling to get things that we will immediately need, onesies, diapers, wipes, crib sheets etc. My good friend Rose is going to let us borrow some of her baby items until (hopefully) we get them at our shower. Unfortunately since my little guy was born so early, 0-3 month clothes just don't fit, he has to wear newborn. We bought the car seat/stroller this weekend and Mike put it together yesterday. James has to pass the car seat test before he can be released. Basically all this is, is James sitting in a car seat for a certain period of time without any episodes happening, such as a decrease in heart rate, O2 stats and breathing. Hopefully he'll pass with flying colors...
