More William

Here is William at six weeks old.  He is now 4 lbs. 7 oz.--a little more than a pound heavier than his birthweight, and two pounds heavier than his lowest weight while in the NICU.  He is still pretty tiny, but grows so much every day.

 This was his first real bath.  Yes, I'm scrubbing his head with a toothbrush.

 That's one good looking kid!

William at One Month

William will be one month old on Wednesday the 11th!  It's crazy to think I could still be sitting in a hospital bed right now waiting for him to be born.  He is doing so well. He's now 3 ounces away from weighing 4 pounds, and growing tons each day.  He's off the CPAP for good now, and is dressed and kept at room temperature.  This is his tiny hand next to Sara's hand.  She is totally in love with her little brother.

 My handsome, hairy little man.

Emily Turns Two

Emily had her second birthday just after Christmas. She is our little handful, but she's awfully cute!  Here she is with her new Little People farm and a new doggy.

She also got some chocolate.

She might have stolen a chocolate chip off of her Turtle pie before we cut into it. Happy Birthday, Em!

William's Day Off CPAP

Last Wednesday William was off the CPAP for a full 24 hours before the doctors decided he still needed it on to help with weight gain. Since they put him back on, he has been gaining beautifully.  He's finally back above his birth weight.  This is me giving him a bath.

Then my favorite part was choosing a new hat for him to wear!  They have so many cute ones.  This one fit him just right.  Hopefully it will still fit by the time they take the CPAP off for good!
