Anders Pitches a No Hitter

I visited Anders this afternoon. I had to see this phenomenon of Anders breathing without help. I went in around 3:30 pm. The nurse asked if I was going to stay for the feeding, I replied that I would probably visit and then come back later for the feeding. However, I was transfixed by his nasal cannula resting on his head. He was up around 100%. He had a couple of small desaturations, but he handled it amazingly well. At one point, I tried to put the cannula back in and he slapped my hand away! It felt like watching the last inning of a no hitter in the playoffs. Time just flew by as I watched him. I didn't wake him or disturb him since he was doing so well.
I introduced the bottle to him at 6 pm this evening. He took in about 10 mils of food. A lot of his mother's milk ended up on his bib, however.
Anna and Mandy came by before the feeding. I suppose Anna needed a ride there, but again I was transfixed. Mandy held him for the first time. She was glowing like Dorene after the hold.
The breathing and the bottle were huge, but were in some ways overshadowed by Anders' HUGE bowel movement. He hadn't had a bowel movement in 27 hours so the nurse gave him a glycerin supository. It worked in a big way. The first wave in his first was about half the size of my fist. It took about 10 wipes to clean him up. Then, he started going in the clean diaper...twice! It was epic. It was so voluminous that wipes were getting dirty before I even reached skin! I could hold a 5 minute conversation about this event.
Oh, and Anders now has his own private room off the nursery. It is about the size of his half of his college dorm room. He has his own telephone, sink, clock, two doors, and a crib. It's a pretty sweet setup.
He now weighs 5lbs 3oz, but might have lost some of that weight this evening!
