Month: February 2010

Our little guy continues to thrive. He’s up to 5lbs 11oz now and is taking 5 bottles and nursing once during the day…only 2 more feedings to master and he’ll be ready to hit the road! 🙂

We have been blessed with lots of meals from church over the past weeks. Tonight we had some incredible lasagna. I put some in a bowl for Macy and put bread on her tray. I was expecting to dive into the bread first while I got a paper towel ready for the aftermath, but when… Continue reading Lasagna Night

Some kind of virus has attacked our family over the past week. Doug got it first, Macy woke up sick on Tuesday, Doug’s mom woke up sick on Wednesday, and I’m hoping that the lighter sinusy version that I’ve had is all I’m going to get….fun times at the Adam household. The worst part is… Continue reading She's definitely feeling better

Steven had a big day yesterday. When I went to see him he had pulled his feeding tube out again and his nurse was busy feeding another baby so she just left it out while he nursed. Steven obviously wanted to show us all what he could do without it in because he drank 46ml!!!… Continue reading Big Day!

Macy must have heard all the talk about Steven eating so well because this morning she ate her bowl of oatmeal all by herself! We’ve been working on eating with a spoon for a while now and she’s been doing really well with getting the spoon from the bowl to her mouth, but scooping a… Continue reading Macy's Oatmeal

When I went to see Steven yesterday I discovered that he had been moved down to room 7. His first nurse in the NICU told us that the higher the room number the better your baby was doing…well 7 is the highest! It’s a small room with only 4 babies. It’s called the quiet room… Continue reading Movin' on up!

Steven is holding his own temperature well enough to move into a big boy bed (aka open air crib). He is still bundled up really well because his temperature is on the lower side that they like. He looks like a blanket burrito when you walk up to his crib. You have to get next… Continue reading Big Boy Bed

Macy used her baby’s wipe as a cleaning cloth to clean the livingroom. She had the best time cleaning the tables, couch, floor, and my legs. This girl is too cute!

Steven broke his nursing record from Sunday!  He drank 26ml today in 13 mins!  His nurse had also turned off the thermostat in his isolette and said that he should be moving to an open air crib today or tomorrow!  That means he’s able to hold his own temperature.  Our little guy is doing great!  I’m… Continue reading February 16

Karen went to the hospital on Sunday and took some fun pictures that I usually can’t take since I’m holding him (and am scared to touch anything that might have a hint of a germ on it).  So now you’ll get to see pictures other than Steven sleeping on his stomach. 😉 Steven through his… Continue reading Steven and his "Aunt KK"
