New Pics and an Update


I went to see this precious boy this morning and he's doing really well. He's off the cpap and on the nasal cannula with room air! This is HUGE! He's up to 5-11, but he's pretty puffy and I know most of the weight gain is due to the iv fluids. His x-ray this morning showed some concerns with his digestive system - a big word that I don't remember meaning something is swollen and his belly still needs to rest. So no feedings today, but hopefully another x-ray tomorrow will show some improvement and they can try again. He is completely off the sedation and was resting very comfortably while I was there. I'm sure his jaundice levels are high just by looking at his 'suntan', but they'll put him under the lights soon and once he can start eating that will take care of itself. Joseph is going back tonight after work so hopefully he'll get another good report! We're trying not to both be away from the big boys too much to keep their routine as normal as possible...whatever normal is! Here are some more pictures of one of the 3 cutest things I've ever seen;)
He looks so big compared to most of the babies up there...makes me count my blessings for sure!
He's got chicken legs and monkey toes!
Dark hair like Daddy...his head wasn't nearly as "coney" as the other boys, maybe because he was in the birth canal for 0.3 seconds!

He is gorgeous! He sure doesn't look like a tiny boy- I bet he is intimidating all of the other babies in the NICU:) We are praying, and we'd love to do more! Love you!
