It seems totally appropriate that Becker was given Andy's name as his middle. So far, Becker is the most like his father. This guy is super laid back. He doesn't cry a lot and when he does it's generally pretty brief. We were told at the beginning that the babies will feel most comfortable with both legs and arms tucked tightly against their bodies, but Beck is proving them wrong in his case. No matter what they put over his chest, no matter how they tuck or swaddle his arms, he always finds a way to get them up by his face. He most often looks like someone kicked backed on an ocean somewhere, "too cool for school" glasses over his eyes.
Becker started with the IV, CPAP, feeding tube and lights, but at two days old had already mastered breathing to the point that he kicked the CPAP and it has not returned so far. He too is now off the lights and looking just as cool without his sunglasses. It is such a treat to see there eyes wandering over to me! As of day six, Becker now only has his IV and feeding tube. We expect the IV to come out within a few days or less. The babies all have to keep their feeding tubes for a few more weeks, as the suck, swallow, breathe skill won't develop for a bit yet.
