11 lbs!

The conversion chart they keep in the rooms to convert kilos to lbs doesn't even go high enough to see exactly how much he weighs in lbs any more! But he basically weighs exactly 11 lbs as of today. Everything is going well with the little man right now. They've decided to hold off on bottle feeding him for all this week to give him a break and let his lungs have a rest too. We'll probably start bottle feeding him again next week with his formula thickened to the consistency of honey. The only problem with that is that it'll probably tire him out real quick and he might not be able to finish the whole feed by bottle. All we can really do is wait for him to build up his stamina and start swallowing correctly so that we don't have to thicken his formula. We just got done giving the little man a bath and when we came back from the cafeteria he gave us this gorgeous little smile! If there's one thing daddy and I do well, it's make gorgeous babies! It's just so awesome to see him like this. We have been doing a lot of reflecting lately on how far we've come and it has already been such an incredible journey. Terrifying, heartbreaking, and a million other things, but above all, incredible. And he's only 6 months old!
