Our christmas visit..

Christmas day wouldnt have been complete to us without a visit to our little peanut. So, we braved the bad weather, prayed for protection and got there and back safe and sound. It was so worth it. We had an awesome visit. We sat there for over an hour just admiring him, looking over his charts and praying for him. Then he woke up to feed so after the nurse administered the meds i got to hold him. He was super grumpy cus he was starving but Ivon got the bottle ready and i fed him and held him and sang to him. He is doing alot better. His scores are coming down, they are down to one dose of morphine a day, they are reducing his other meds. He is still in the isollete because he is dealing with irritability he cant be over-stimulated, so its nice and quiet and dark in there for him and it seems to be helping his sleeping. Ive got a great eater on my hands, who at 3 weeks old can easily polish off a 6 oz bottle every two hours! Thats a really big amount. He was born at 6 14 and now weighs over 7 lbs (he did loose weight in between). He is gorgeous, simply gorgeous and i cant wait to take him home and enjoy him! The road ahead certainly isnt going to be an easy one, but God is leading and were confident this is His plan (for now) and we are going to do the very best we can! Thank you to everyone who has prayed for us and for our little peanut! It truly means alot to us!
