Jake's original due date is one month from today! Today was, as I told many people, the day that I wish he could have held out for. How cool would it be to have a birth date of 4/5/6?! Of course, 3/21/6 does have a bit of numeric coolness to it as well... 3+2+1=6... it's more of a stretch, but whatareyagonnado?
Jacob was breathing without the hood for a few hours today, but he wasn't quite ready for that big step yet. Shortly after noon, the hood went back on, but the oxygen level is only a few percentages above room air, so maybe in a few days he'll be ready to breath normally.
When the hood was removed, they had suggested that we bring some clothes up for him to help him keep his temperature up. They let him keep the clothes even though the hood came back! Hopefully they've finally figured out why his diapers kept leaking, otherwise, I'm going to have a TON more laundry to do very soon!
As this photo shows, he is up to 5 pounds, 1.2 ounces. He dropped down, we believe, to a low of 4 pounds 10 ounces, and has been working his way back up a few grams at a time since then.
