Hey everybody! I'm just a few grams away from 3 pounds! Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

7 weeks old

Collin is now 7 weeks old and weighs 2lb. 10.8oz! He is now off of the nasal cannula and is doing great. He has been moved to intermediate level of care in the NICU. He is getting better at bottle feeding, so they will gradually increase his feedings by bottle as he can handle them and give him the rest by NG tube. He looks like a little elf in his Christmas hat! We are so thankful that he continues to grow with no major problems. He amazes us every day!

Daddy's Boy!

Daddy finally got to hold his little man since returning to Florence. He is now 2lb. 7oz! He's getting little chubby cheeks and look at the sweet smile we caught on camera! No other changes right now, just growing a little every day.

Six weeks old!

Collin is now six weeks old and is still doing great. He is only on 1/2 liter of room air through his nasal cannula so he is almost off of it! He is doing better with his bottle feeding (when he is awake enough). Today he took half an ounce, which is almost a whole feeding for him, but it really wears him out so this will also be a slow process to go through. He has stayed at 2lb. 3oz. for a few days now so he is going to be given more supplements. You can see he is still tiny with Jeffery's ring over his arm in the pic on the bottom left. Keep praying that he'll continue to grow, grow, grow!

Collin is finally off of the CPAP machine and he is a much happier baby! He has been doing well on the nasal cannula and is now also being weaned off if it. Hopefully in the next few days he will be all on his own with his breathing! He is now 2lb. 3oz. and has started very small bottle feedings, which he is still figuring out, but will get the hang of it soon. We are also able to hold him now every day so maybe he will really start growing now!
