New Pics!



I almost can't believe how tiny he is! it was so nice to make this contact with him though. He needs to know that not all touch is bad and his mommy and daddy are here.


I helped change his diaper for the first time!!! He has the smallest poop I've ever seen! I would censor his wee wee, but you can hardly even see it!

My ring is big on his leg!!!

It has been a busy day for our guy. One of the nurses hooked our man up with some cuter blankets so it's not so boring in there. They turned off the humidity in his incubator, gave him another blood transfusion, he peed A LOT, he got a new IV in his arm, more lipids and fats and he got more milk today. It was so nice to finally make some real contact with him. Reasoning skills or not, he knows his mommy and daddy and he needs to know that we are here loving him more than ever. His skin looked especially dry today, he has a bit of an alligator thing going on, but they said that's just part of the development process. Other than that things are pretty stable. We are staying at the hospital again tonight. It's nice to be close to him, not to mention it's nice to have access to the cafeteria from 10 pm to 2 am- they definitely know how to accommodate any midnight craving! Thanks again everyone for all of your love and support. It's so nice to have such an awesome support group right now. It really means so much to us. You're all amazing. Thank you.
