In like a lion, out like a lamb?

To continue with my weather metaphor to life: as March begins many following the Darling clan may be beginning to wonder if the month will go out like a lamb?

All signs point to "we're not sure yet, but the progress is promising." Lil' G is well over the 7 pound mark and LOVES to eat (just look at those cheeks?). In fact, he has been eating orally so well that they are decreasing hi j-tube feeds to every 8 hours AND he's been able to actually do a little breastfeeding. He is still receiving the stockpiled, frozen milk, but I bet he really enjoys the fresh stuff.

Garret's pod is still on lock-down and his visitors are limited to Erin, Jim and grandparents. However, if you happen to be in the Milwaukee area they'd certainly love guests. (You know if you're stranded at the airport and can't catch the connecting flight to Bean-town or something like that.) Erin has taken some adorable new photos of Garret posted on picasa for the spring and has some nice shots of all the helpful doctors holding him. Enjoy the longer days and look for "calmer, lamb-like" weather.
