Demetri had a busy night last night. He took 3 full bottles, got a bath, and got a new isolette. He is now in a Drager isolette. The Drager is considered to be the "old cadillac" that was upstaged by the Giraffe. The only real difference in his world is that they are no longer providing humidity. This means that he has to work a little harder to maintain his temperature. The nurses usually change isolettes every 2-4 weeks for cleaning... it is hard to believe that he is already 2 weeks old.

He gained another 20 grams and is almost 2 lbs 5 oz. He is still working on bottle feeding and we are also trying breastfeeding each day. He woke up for his 2pm feeding rooting around and crying because his bottle was not quite ready. This was the first time he has reacted to not having his bottle ready when we get him out for a feeding.












Big sister Eleni came by for another visit after finding out she will be getting tubes in her ears in April and possibly have her adenoids removed. She was excited to see him, but thought we should wake him up! She wanted to reach into the isolette to rub his back. I think she is going to be a great big sister.
