Baby Steps

When we went to the hospital yesterday, Jake weighed a whopping 4lbs. 6oz. We kidded him saying that he's really packing on the pounds. It's amazing to me that he now weighs an entire pound more than Abby did when she came home from the hospital. We're realizing more and more every day that Abby was a NICU superstar. For her to be as small as she was and to go home as quickly as she did, was truly amazing. I think that some of the nurses don't believe us when we tell them how well she did.

On another exciting note, Jake has now outgrown one of his preemie sleepers. Before he was born, we went on a hunt for small preemie clothes. You wouldn't think it would be as hard as it is to find preemie clothes, but not that many people need them, and they really are hard to find - at least the really, really small ones are hard to find. When I looked into his crib and saw that it was too small, I couldn't believe it. I'm going to take things that don't have feet in them now, so maybe they'll last longer.

Jake took about 20cc of his bottle yesterday, which was pretty good. We're praying for the entire bottle today. He's 36 weeks gestationally today, so maybe things will start to click soon.

Thanks for the continued prayers!
