Yesterday, we put on Nicholas's first outfit for the picture you see here, in honor of Valentine's day. He only had it on for the brief time it took to take these pictures. He tolerated our little "dress up" event very well. He is still on CPAP (you can see how the straps have indented the tops of his cheeks a bit and it tends to make his eyes puffy) and a little bit of oxygen. No new changes to his care this weekend as he is doing well and they want him to rest before his next change of trialing a nasal cannula. Every three weeks the neonatologists change. Tomorrow we get our third one, who also happens to be the mom of a preemie. Everyone has been wonderful and really works as a team in providing care to Nicholas. We can't believe we've been here 6 weeks already and it's crazy to think our due date wasn't for another 8 weeks. Nicholas is pushing 3 pounds, is still 15 inches long and his head continues to grow, all good. We hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day. Make sure you tell those around you how much they are loved. We are truly thankful for our little Valentine on this day. 
What a wonderful Valentine you are Nicholas. Share your love with Momma and Momma and have a wonderful Valentine Day. The outfit is so cute and appropriate for this special day.
ReplyDelete10 years from now they may not be dressing you up like that.
Hope you are all well. We'll check in from Florida too.
Love you all,
Judy/Dave
Couldn't help but notice in the second set of pix that Nicholas shows recognition of Momma Mancuso in his eyes. Good to see that.
