Open Crib!

Lincoln moved into an open crib yesterday!  This is a major step toward going home.  In an open crib, Lincoln has to learn to maintain his body temperature.  He is wearing fleece pajamas today, then is covered up in a two-layer flannel blanket folded twice (so eight layers right there), another flannel folded twice (four more layers), and a hat.  It takes a lot for little preemie babies like him to do that on their own.  We had been told no open crib until he was nippling most feeds, because nippling burns calories, and he needs those calories to keep warm.  Time to bring in our Brutus (Ohio State Buckeyes) mobile!
