Eating and a growing!

NICU Day 42

Catch up Nov 2: I am thankful for Ellie Jo, who just showed her parents that she can write her WHOLE first name! She amazes us with her humor, personality and talents every day!

Nov 3: Today I am thankful for a mom that is willing to drive countless hours to be here for me...and so thankful for Aunt Marie who is coming to help out too. So honored to have them both in my life as family. Can't wait until they get here today!

Mr.Beckett has had a great last couple days! He tolerated his feedings, and is now up to 18 mls of breastmilk. He did have one episode that needed stimulation yesterday morning, but that is it. So he has been a good boy since then. He is doing well on his oxygen. He gained weight last night, and is now 3 lbs. 14 oz! Although the nurse said he does look puffy all over today. :( last night daddy got to cuddle with Beckett, and he tolerated it pretty well. At the end of the hour, Beckett did start desatting.

We are so thankful that Beckett has had a great last two days, and it seems that he is liking eating again. (Although this morning the nurse said he pulled out his OG feeding tube. Naughty Beckett!)

Pray for rest for Ben and I...we seem like we can't ever catch up on rest...today was a rough day getting going this morning! So tired!
