His birthday is January 11, 2017 and he was born at 4 lbs 11 oz at 34 weeks gestation.
He was intubated before I was out of recovery.
The first time I visited him I couldn't even touch him yet. This was the first time I touched my baby after he left the OR.
By the beginning of his second day he was able to step down again, to a nasal cannula with high flow oxygen.
In between the change I got to see him without any tubes in his face for the first time.
He remained on oxygen through the first time I got to hold him.
He had a few rough days in the NICU, and it was a very stressful time for our family, but we made it through!
He stayed in the NICU at Sentara Norfolk General until January 25.
He left the hospital at exactly 5 lbs 0 oz and we couldn't have been more smitten with our tiny boy!
By 3 months old he was growing like a weed!
Six Months Old
Nine Months
One Year Old!
