THREE WEEKS!

Our little man is three weeks old tonight! We are so proud of how far he has come in the past three weeks. He is such a wonderful baby. Many of the nurses have commented on how he almost never cries. He is very content most of the time. He continues to improve every day. He is up to 4 lbs. 7 oz. and is looking great! We had a rough day on Monday...his temp dropped and he had to be put under a warmer. He had been spitting up and having other problems so there was a chance he was getting sick. Jeremy and I were pretty scared, but everything worked out and he bounced back really fast! Brayson lost an ounce that day, but he gained 2 ounces the following day to make up for it!!! :) He's doing pretty good with his feeds. He prefers the breast over the bottle and surprisingly does much better with the breast! This is a little unusual, and the doctors really want him taking a bottle well before he can come home. So occupational therapists will be working with him starting today on his bottle feeding. Pray that this goes well and that he picks up this skill really quickly!!! This is the final thing preventing him from coming home with us!!!!!

Well, I am off to the hospital to spend the day with this cutie! I just love him so much! Everyone have a fantastic weekend!!!
