We're so proud of our little boy!

As of Sunday morning (6 days old), Mason is officially breathing all by himself! When we went to visit him on Saturday night, he had already been removed from CPAP onto a high flow nasal cannula and was doing really well. Mommy and Daddy even got to help bathe him (and dad got peed on for the first time :-). We were pleasantly surprised to get a call from the doctor on Sunday morning that he was doing so well that they were going to remove the cannula and see how he handled it. It's only been a few hours, but so far, he's doing a great job without any breathing support. It's possible that he could go back to the cannula if he shows any breathing distress. Here's a few pictures now that you can see his beautiful little face.

These are from Saturday night with the nasal cannula. He still looks a little yellow from the jaundice.
Tuckered out after his bath. Look at that blond hair!
And on Sunday morning - breathing all by himself! Finally opening his eyes for us!
A little smile for mommy
We're so proud of our little guy! He's progressing so quickly and we hope he continues to do well!
