Day 4: Report Card Day

Seems like there are lots of tests in the NICU. Is the U for University? Anyway, I passed a hearing test, and 2 tests for the same thing today. Something called CMV. They said the results were negative, but that is a good thing, which is funny, because when my mommy took a test to see if I was coming, it was positive, and that was a happy thing. Wow, this English thing is hard to figure out. Hope they don't test me on all that any time soon.
Last night they took away the oxygen, so my nose is clear now, and cute as a button, I hear. I got a new blanket called a Billy blanket, which is supposed to help me look a little less tan. I got a new IV, so they took the old one out of my belly button, but this one goes in my head. It is tough to look cool with that up there, but my mommy and daddy think I can pull it off.
I peed on one of nurses today. If anyone is keeping score, that is 2 nurses and 1 pediatric resident I've gotten so far. Imagine how much better I'll get when I master this drinking milk thing! I tried 2 bottles today, but was not so crazy about it. Maybe I'll be more in the mood for it tomorrow. Today was more about sleeping.
I took a long nap on my daddy this morning, and got to cuddle with my mommy, too. My new friend, Auntie Paula, drove my mommy home, but she came back after dinner. No wonder Luke likes Paula so much. She even tried to hook me up with some chocolate milk, and I JUST met her. Cool lady. Gotta go! See me soon.
