Tayla and I are rooming in!  She had her feeding tube taken out today.  She had been taking all of her feedings by mouth for a day and a half.  We are rooming in in a special room in the NICU so we are close to Ruben.

Ruben has taken three complete feedings by nursing in the last 24 hours.  Most of his other feedings he has taken at least part of it by mouth.  One of his feedings he took 70cc. he needs to take at least 48cc.  He was a big eater for that feeding.  Then he woke up early for the next feeding and took 34cc the next time.  For those of you (which I’m sure is most of us) there are 30cc in an ounce.
