Andrew is 1 Month Old

Happy One Month Birthday Andrew!!

Wow, one month of being parents! We dont really know if it seems that long or if it feels like its been way longer; either way its been something that we never thought would happen to us! But God has definatly been with us this past month, without Him we would not have been able to make it this far!

Andrew is doing very good, we have been praying for this for almoast 1 week and finally yesterday he got back on his nasal prongs!! We are so happy and are very thankful! He is still on them today and doing very well, he is much more relaxed like this. He has only had 1 major desat so far, other than that he will drop down a bit and then pop right back up on his own, this is a big improvment and we are very thankful!

His amount per feeding went up to 32 mls but because his tummy was not able to keep it all in they moved him back to 29 mls. He seems to be doing alot better this way. He gets weighed twice a week now, yesterday he weighed 1716 grams which is somewhere around 3 lbs and 11 ozs. This is a big jump for him, and we are very happy for it!

He still loves to be cuddled, as you can see, we were able to try to nurse him today, he was pretty smart and caught on right away, he just needs to keep on growing stronger so that he will be able to stop the tube feeding and only need the bottle and nursing.

We want to thankyou all once again for your prayers, you are all very special to us! We ask that you would please keep on praying for us, We would love to be home for Christmas but we also want to trust God and follow His plan for us, we know that He knows what is best for us!
