Day Twenty-Four. Sometimes I feel frustrated little man. I see you making so much progress, yet I know we have so much more to go before you're ready to come home. And I am constantly reminding myself; technically you shouldn't be here yet. Ugh, it doesn't make it any easier though. Sometimes, I will notice different things you do, when your administered your feedings. Often you turn your head to root, other times you lick your lips, and recently you've been sucking on your fingers. I often refer to you as "Pavlov's Dog"--not because I think you're an animal, but when you become a world renowned doctor, you will study this theory. Seriously though, you are trained. You know when you are getting food! The problem is--you aren't quite big enough yet and not everyone has seen these signs. The NNP's and the nurses are saying about 34 weeks gestation is the goal. So until then, I will be patient.
