Ryder got moved to the annex....the room that they send them home from! It'll be at least 3 weeks...it all depends on him! They started trying to feed him from a bottle yesterday...he sucked it...he just needs to learn to swallow. He had his last blood transfusion yesterday...his body wasn't making blood quick enough to replace the blood taken for tests...so they gave him some : ) He's going to go into an open bed hopefully today, but it's up to him....if he can hold his own heat. He's getting so close to 4 lbs! yay! He had his eyes tested yesterday....and his eyes are great! they are perfect! so perfect the eye DR said he doesn't need a checkup til the age of 2!!! apparently thats rare for these preemies...to have their eyes be as good as his! what a blessing! He gets to wear clothes now to! we love dressing him up! and he doesn't mind it. He's doing wonderful! but mommy is still stressed! and worries constantly about his health and future...but I'm somehow holding in here so far : ) thanks for all the prayers! they are working beautifully. God loves us! and our beautiful baby boy : )

****the pics are from yesterday and the day before, the top 2 are him while getting a blood transfusion yesterday : ) the pic w me and ryder were last week in his old room : )

We did the blood transfusion thing too. I think about three of them. Never dull that is for sure! He is getting so big! Good job Ryder! Hang in there Mommy, he will be just fine! =)
