1 Month Old and We're Gonna Party Like It's Your Birthday




Pictures to come later.

James is 1 month old or 28 weeks of gestation. We are very thankful for God's amazing miracle. We went to see James today for a couple of hours. Boy he looks bigger, and my oh my he's beautiful. Ok, so this is a little subjective (a little) but yeah I'll say he's cute :).

James needs a little more O2 support today compare to yesterday. He is now at 62% compare to the 55% he had yesterday. The nurse hasn't weigh him yet because apparently the bed/the scale is a little wonky. Nothing much for today's plan. The doctor says we'll just hang out, and see if anything else comes up. James is on feeding schedule now. They'll give him the same amount of breast milk for 4 meals, then increase the amount for the next 4 feedings, and so on.

It was hard for me to say good bye to James today. Not because James is still in the NICU or sicker, but he looks more like... an older baby. I mean.. he looks bigger, his head is a bit bigger and the tape that holds the ET tube doesn't cover his entire face. He is opening his eyes more often, he is more expressive too. He yawns alot, he licks his lower lips, he moves his feet quite a bit too. All I wanted to do is to hold him, kiss him, sniff his head, tickle his feet and more. I can't wait until I get to do the kangaroo with him. Oh when will that day come?

When the day finally comes, it'll pretty much look like this:

Nants ingonyamaaaaaaaaaa bagithi Babaaaaaaaaaa


Thank you for your prayers and support. We will update the entry with pictures, pinky promise :)
