And So, After 2 Weeks Of Being A Mommy...

Thank You all once agian for your thoughts and prayers! Your standing behind us in this way is what gives us the strength to take life one day at a time.

Andrew is doing alot better, as of yesterday he still has the infection, but he is feeling alot better and lets us know that by crying when I change his diaper instead of just laying there, and by constantly pulling at his prongs and so on. :) So we are still praying for the infection to clear up.


Last night Andrew was back to his goal of 27 mls per feeding, he is doing very well at keeping it all down! So now this is the amount that he is getting until he gains weight, then they will up the amount as he ups his weight. Yesterday he weighed 1230 grams, thats just under 2lbs. ( I think )


His breathing is doing ok, he went back to the nasal prongs on Monday, Praise God! Last night it was 48 hours since he got switched, and this is when a baby would start getting tired, so we will see where he is at when we get there today, Pray that he will still be on the prongs, Lord willing.



So this is where we are at right now, still looking up, still praying, still waiting for our little guy to grow, still so very thankful for all of your prayers!


Our little angel.

How do you like the taping job he got on his nose? The nurses have to try everything with this little monkey. :)



Last night we both got to hold Andy, here are some pictures of Daddy and Son, they are so cute together are they not?
