Happy Stormy Sunday

Hope everyone is staying safe out there...I'm camped out at the hospital just in case things gets a little hairy.  My crazy mama gene is in high gear and I just want to make sure little Ax stays safe.  I swear storms never bothered me until we had kiddos!  Now, I'm not a fan.  But anyways, enough about that.

Our littlest little man is doing great!  They took him back off the cannula at 7am this morning, and he is back up to trying to nipple all feeds.  

He is doing well at keeping his oxygen saturation up and seems to not be tiring out as easily.  Just my own opinion; tonight will be a big indicator as to whether he's ready or not to handle all of this.  If he does well over night tolerating everything, I think we will be well on our way to getting the heck out of here.  We are cautiously optimistic about it all.

He is doing great on his weight gain and now weighs 2978g or 6lbs 9ozs.  He doesn't fit in any preemie clothes, and if he keeps this up, will be out of newborn stuff in no time.

In other news...we had a great weekend full of lots of visitors!  We also got to spend some quality time with Ayson on Friday night at the bowling alley.  He had a blast, and surprisingly able to do it all by himself, from picking up his ball, to carrying it to the ramp, to pushing it down the alley.  He has been asking to go every day since then! 

 

I'm so, glad Aaron and I got to spend some time with him doing something he loved because a lot of our time is spent here at the hospital, which I'm sure isn't much fun for him.  But, he has been a trooper through it all.

Until tomorrow...enjoy a few other pics from our weekend :)
