Wow...October is already here! Time is going by quicker than I thought it would! Only 44 more days until my due date! I am trying my best to be patient but I am so excited to see Colby making progress in all his different areas and I get eager to bring him home! I know that he still has a lot of progress to make and things to learn but the light at the end of the tunnel is getting bigger and brighter!
Noontime Visit:
We went to see him this afternoon and he was fit to be tied! He was just a fussing (which I have to admit that I still love to hear! Sorry to all our fabulous NICU nurses! ) when we got there. He is still at 0 bump rate!!!! Since 4pm on September 30th!!! He is doing such a good job of breathing on his own. There are times when he de-SATs or bradys but he turns it around on his own without help from his nurses---which is good. He still tries to pull his tube out of his nose and put it into his mouth...he doesn't understand that it won't help him breath that way. :)
Evening Check-In:
-Back to 3 pounds 5 ounces
-Doing well with his 24 CCs of 27 calorie formula still
-His nurse had to give him tylenol tonight at 8pm because she was going to be giving him his first round of shots! :( Normally a baby gets 5 medicines at 6 weeks old and they combine them into 2 or 3 shots..our pumpkin has to get them all individually. He will get two right before his midnight feeding, 2 before his 3am feeding and the last one before his 6am feeding.
-He has been a good baby tonight--no bradys or de-SATs.
-He is 16 1/4" long---shrunk a little from last week! HA! Babies are hard to measure.
-Head circumference was 27
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers---we need them!
