Catching Up Again

September 19th---Picture Day Today!!!!
-Mommy and Daddy met up at the hospital with Ms. Kim from Footprints Ministry and the photographer from Journey magazine!  Journey magazine is doing an article on Footprints Ministry in their October edition and Ms. Kim suggested our little man as a NICU baby to talk about. :) 
-Colby was going to have to get blood that day so they had to stop his feeding for a little while.
-Mommy didn't have a very long visit so we went back for a night visit but the nurses were having a meeting when we got there so we had to wait for about 30 minutes to see our little man.  We did get to catch up with Logan's Mommy though (one of the other little babies in the NICU that we have met)

September 20th---Hit 3 pound mark!
-Ms. Debbie and Ms. Stephanie had him today/tonight and Colby was good for them.  Still doing well with your feedings (22 CCs of the high protein formula)
-Ms. Debbie told me he hit the 3 pound mark!!!!!  Whoo Hoo!!  So excited to see him gaining weight and getting bigger!  He doesn't look puffy so that seems more like it is good weight. :)

September 21st---Spit up today (first time for Mommy)
-Ms. Wendy and Ms. Jean had Colby today/tonight and he was just hanging out (not like he could do much of anything else!)
-He did have a few gases that were high on his carbon dioxide so they were watching that
-Colby spit up some of his lunch while we were there...I am sure he has done this but it was the first time for Mommy.  I got to pick him up for a minute while Ms. Wendy changed his blanket under his head.
-Jean said he weighed 3 pounds 5 ounces!!!!

September 22nd---BAMA BOY!
-Doing well when we went up to see him.  We took Ainsley with us and I was able to video her reading to Colby.  It was very sweet!  She finished washing up and went right over to open his bed and touch him!  We have to watch her close to make sure she is careful---she just wants to hold him so bad!
-We went to the Alabama game and then stopped by on the way home.  It was a little quieter so I was hoping that I could hold him. 
-Ms. Kandy was his nurse this evening and she let me hold him.
-Weighed 3 pounds 3 ounces and Kandy told us they were feeding him 28 CCs!!!
-Still on his antibiotics for a few more days.
-Then Ms. Kandy went and got the sweetest looking BAMA cap!!!  Hoping to get new pictures up tomorrow!

So excited about all of Colby's progresses lately!  PRAISES!!!!  Please keep praying for his infection and that these antibiotics will help it go away.
