Doug and I went to our CPR infant CPR class this morning. It’s a requirement for all parents with babies in the NICU. I think all parents should be required to take it…just like we have to watch the SIDS and Shaken Baby Syndrome videos. After our class I pumped really fast and then went… Continue reading February 11

We had a delicious meal brought Tuesday night by the Farmers. They brought Macy’s vegetable of choice these days…green beans. I had her plate in my hand and was giving her bites of green beans on her spoon (we’re still working on her being able to scoop a bite of food on the spoon by… Continue reading Macy and her green beans

God blessed us with two huge answers to prayer yesterday. I went to the hospital to atempt nursing for the first time. When I got there, I successfully changed another diaper without being sprayed or pooped on (so actually I had 3 answered prayers ;). After his diaper change his nurse took his IV out!!!!!!!!!… Continue reading Two Answers to Prayer!

Yep that’s right…..it looks like he is just like his Daddy…..a late owl 🙂 I wanted to update the post with some new exciting video I took from my IPhone. Grams and I(Daddy) went to the hospital tonight for a late visit and for the first time I was able to see Steven totally alert… Continue reading Up at night!

I have been blessed with enough milk again to feed 2 or 3 babies. I’ve used up all my space in the NICU freezer so now we’re freezing at home. These tubes are about a day and a half worth of pumping. I’m so thankful to have this much milk…especially 9 weeks early. Now we… Continue reading The Flood Returns

I’m getting really tired of rewriting posts because my phone eats the first one….oh well. Steven was a very sleepy baby this morning when I tried to give him a bottle this morning. He’s eating 32mL at each feeding, but only got through 10 this morning before he completely passed out on me. His nurse… Continue reading February 9

Steven had his head turned so the IV was down last night when Doug and mom went to visit. Luckily Doug got a couple pictures before Steven’s nurse came over. She said that she had put him down with the IV side up and that he had turned his head in his own (he’s a… Continue reading First Outfit Picture

Steven is still doing well (it’s awesome to be able to say that every day).  His feedings have increased to 24mL…30mL is about the same as 1oz, so we’re very close!  He’s gained another ounce today and is up to 3lbs 13oz.  His biliruben has gone up to 9.8…he’s walking a fine line with those… Continue reading Sunday Update

Macy is only 20 months old so you would think I’d remember how little baby clothes are, but Steven’s clothes look TINY to me…I know it’s not exactly rocket science, a tiny baby needs tiny clothes. I took a picture of one of his sleepers next to one of Macy’s 18 month sleepers and I’m… Continue reading What a year and a half can do

It’s humbling to think about how many people are praying for our little boy. Praise the Lord that we don’t live our lives by our works, but by His grace. Thank you for praying for Steven and our family. We are incredibly blessed to have amazing family and friends to lift us up. Know that… Continue reading Incredibly blessed
