2010

I'm not talking about the year, but rather my little boy's weight. At this nights weigh-in, big baby boy got to 2010 grams. That is equivalent to 4 pounds 7 ounces. He was 1010g (2 pounds 4 ounces) at birth. That means he needs to gain only 10 grams to double his birth weight! This is HUGE.

Some things that are happening in the NICU with S. He is off the CPAP now, and moved onto high flow nasal cannula at 4L per minutes. He went from CPAP of 7 to high flow 4L. That is considered a huge jump with a preemie and while he isn't a superstar at breathing right now, he sure is giving it his best shot.

Mike, my husband, gave him his first dose of medication by mouth. S really liked it. He looked like he would lick the short syringe it was in for hours if we let him. He's precious. We also got to pick him up and put him down whenever we wanted to. We don't, because we don't want to over stimulate him. He needs his rest.

But oh em gee. He's nearly double what he was born. Amazing little man he is.
