Happy Friday everyone! Austin is now 2 weeks old and continues to make great progress. We spent a few hours with him tonight and the story is pretty much the same. He's doing well with his feeds and is now up to 1630 grams, which is very close to his birth weight. Beyond his weight gain there really isn't much new to report....and we like it that way.
I got to hold him for about 2 1/2 hours last night and Mom held him for an hour and a half or so tonight. Both times he settled right in and barely moved until it was time for him to head back to his isolette.
I've said this before and I'll say it again many times....a huge THANK YOU to all the nurses that have cared for Austin, Jamie, and even me over the past three weeks. You all are incredible people and have made this experience so easy for us. We brought in trays of cookies earlier in the week for the birth center, PSCU, and NICU nurses. They went fast, so we apologize to those who didn't get a chance to enjoy them. A big thanks Austin's Aunt Tina for taking the time to work her usual magic. Shameless plug...if anyone needs any cookies, cakes, or other baked goods let me know. Tina does amazing, amazing work as many of you already know.
Nursery preparations start in full tomorrow.
Until next time....
