Hi everyone,
It's time for another update. It will be short because pictures can say a thousand words, and we are putting at least six pictures on here which equates to at least 6,000 words and neither I or Anna has the energy to write that many words all in one sitting. All is going well with Cache. As of 4:00 p.m., he weighed 3lbs 14 oz. Only 2 oz. to go until he hits 4 lbs. The nurses and doctors keep saying that the reportbacks that they give are boring because all he needs to do is grow and learn how to eat. We are working on this. They say by next Tuesday he could be out of the incubator and into a crib. We are excited for this. Cache has such a calm demenor, which he gets from his mom, and is a NICU favorite. I bet all the nurses fight over who gets to take care of him. I know I would. Anna is pretty dang amazing and is already showing the signs of great mother. Of course I am not surprised at all because that is one of the reasons I married her! She is doing everything she can to ensure the best outcome for our little guy. We are in a guest house about 2 blocks away from the hospital which has been a huge blessing. Anna is staying there all the time so she can pump and go over and be with Cache every three hours while they do his feeding, and diaper change. She is being brave at nights as I have to leave at 9pm to be back to work and dont make it back until abou 2pm the next day. It looks like this might be how it is for next few weeks. We aren't worried at all, just happy that he is going to be okay. Thanks to all that have visited and called. We appreciate everyone of you and love you. And now................THE PICTURES. These are the most recent pictures we have of him.
We came in to visit one day and lifted up the blanket covering his inucbator and found this relaxing pose.

Bath time for Cache. His umbelical cord fell out this past week an he can now take baths in the tub. Most babies cry, but he just sits there. A good sign for this future wakeboarder!
Look how little his hand his compared to Anna's
