Day 36

Maks has been doing so well with the breast milk that the doctor has decided to increase by 1ml every 12 hours. Before it was being increased every 24 hours. So today he got 9ml of breast milk beginning at 8am, then it was increased to 10ml at 8pm. Hopefully he can handle this increase and get off the TPN soon! They also started a multivitamin, which he will likely remain taking until and maybe even after discharge. He looks really good, and he is still really pink.

Logan, Milyn, and I decided to take a really quick trip to Utah today. Logan is planning on going snowboarding next weekend, and his brother had been borrowing his snowboard. We went to get that, but really it just gave us a good excuse to take a break from the current monotony. It was a nice getaway, but we are all really tired now! We went shopping with Logan's brother Stetson and his wife Kylee, then we went with them and my brother Brian and his wife Stephanie to dinner. It was so good to see them all! We don't get to see them often because they live in Utah, and we miss them a lot!





Before heading home, we had to quickly run to Build a Bear to build a stuffed dog for Maksim. Logan and I did this for Milyn just shortly before she was born, and we decided to make it a tradition. All three of us warmed aheart, and Milyn put them in dog. She thought it was pretty fun.
