Nicholas continues to grow and amaze us! He is teetering on reaching a new milestone weight of 5 lbs today. He is filling out his preemie diapers and preemie clothes well - we might be moving to the "newborn" size. He is also increasing his periods of "wakefulness", which really makes the mom's happy. As you can see in the pictures, he is very expressive and does smile often (now if we could just capture that smile on camera!) He continues to eat every three hours (something he really enjoys) and takes 2-3 feeds by bottle, 1 by breast (though he likes to practice often) and the rest by NG. We are very slowly weaning the oxygen - we can't do to much to fast with this sensitive little guy. Otherwise, we all continue to adjust and are staying status quo. This afternoon we will have bath time and kangaroo.
I just saw some pictures, and they are
ReplyDeletegreat...Nicholas you grow handsomer every day.."well I know how great I look" "my moms are always saying" "if only I can take a picture of those cheeks".............
Hey Nicholas, 5 pounds means no more "little dude". You are ready for "big dude" now. Great to see facial expression and joy in the last picture. Were you starting a wave in the nursery? Judy says you are going to be a future soap opera heart throb. I'm jealous of your hair. Hopefully it won't be too much longer before they can wrap you in their arms as they take you home. We all look forward to that special day. Kudos to the professional photographers for getting you to pose so well with the wonderful facial effects. We're certain they will be taking all kinds of pix as you grow. Good thing we have digital now as the film would have been pretty extensive. Give them a hug for us and you all have a great weekend. Start practicing the following - Go Hawks.
