I am now struggling with that age old problem that most parents have (or at least mine did)...calling one of your kids by the other kids name. Since Luke was born, I don't know how many times I've called him Jake (his big brother). I'm getting better at calling him Luke, but I still struggle. Hopefully I won't confuse either of the boys with the dog's, which my parents did a few times while I was growing up.
As expected, Luke got moved back into one of the rooms for preemies with more acute needs. He's still having issues with the breathing, which our doctor thinks is linked to going #2...or more accurately his lack of going #2. Our doctor also said that most babies outgrow these issues by weeks 32-33, so hopefully he'll figure out how to work his plumbing soon. Other than that, he's doing well for a 30 weeker.
They kept his feedings at 16cc's today so hopefully he'll go back on the feeding protocol tomorrow. His weight this morning was 3lbs 3oz.
Thanks again to everybody for their encouragement and prayers - they definitely keep is going!
Cheers,
Colin

Colon, I mean Colin, I'm a little late in my crazy comments after your latest blog entry. After working all weekend to prep the house to be painted, I colapsed on the couch last night.
I hope that Luke is enjoying the travels of moving from one room to another. As long as they don't put him in a "box canyon" he should be eager for travel as he grows older.
All the Gravette clan continue to hold the quartet up in prayer and love.
God bless all here,

Hi Colin,
I'm a friend of your dad's.
I have five children and I usually rattle off every name except the correct one when addressing one child in particular. The more flustered I am, the worse it is. And, to my horror I've learned that it only gets worse as you get older! ;)
Jake and Luke will get used to it and will soon learn that you're addressing the child closest to you...except when you're hollering at them in another room.
Of course, if one of them is in trouble, neither of them will answer you. In our house, we call that "selective hearing loss."
;)
We're praying for your little angel. He's going to be just fine.
Angela
