HAPPY 1 WEEK!!!!
Well, we were FINALLY able to hold Wesley yesterday. Exactly one week from when he was born. It was the best feeling. He looks so tiny in our arms and feels like he weighs nothing but he is doing great! He is able to wear clothes now so we went out and bought him some cute stuff to wear while he is still in the hospital.
Here are the most recent updates on him:
-The cords from his belly button were removed and an IV was placed in his arm. This was good news b/c as of right now he doesn't need a PICC line put in.
-He is having bowel movements on his own. Nicole changed her first poopy diaper of his today.
-They have decreased his oxygen pressure down to 2. When he gets down to zero he will be completely breathing on his own and everything will be removed.
-They haved upped his feedings and are going to increase it even more tonight. He is now on Nicole's breast milk and gaining weight.
Today he weighed 4lbs 5oz which means he is almost back to his birth weight. They like the babies to weigh 5lbs before they are able to go home so he's on his way. The doctor said everything is looking great and he's on his way to being transferred to the intermediate care room insead of the ICU. We are so thankful that we continue to get good news when we call or visit him. We appreciate all the prayers you guys are sending.
