My little growing peanut!

Zach reached the big 4lbs last night!!! We are so proud of him!! He is doing better at sucking on bottles, so he now is aloud to have 2 bottles a day (the rest he is fed by the tube) and he is aloud to take all 35 cc's instead of just 10! The past couple of days he has taken maybe one full bottle and had trouble with the other bottle. But this morning when I went to see him, he was wide awake and drank the whole bottle in less then 10 minutes and didn't even stop for a burp!! I was so happy! So the nurse said she was going to ask the doctor if he could start taking 4 bottles a day, so I will find out later what he said. He is slowly getting chubbier and chubbier! He is going to still be in the incubator for a while because it will burn to many calories to take him out. Other than that, he is having some other problems with my milk and the fortifier they have to put in so he is back on some lacto free milk stuff for now until he gets better! That's about all the update on the little fellow! I'll keep ya'll posted! enjoy the pics!


He was having trouble sucking from the bottle this time, he kept falling asleep, so he had to unwrap him to try to wake him, and he put himself in this position! And then he finished off his bottle!
Trying to get a burp, but he is out cold!


hehe, our little frog! Time to get comfy!




I'm so cold, wrap me up!!
We don't get to hold him unwrapped unless he pees on his blanket and we have to change it out! Darn! : )

You are beautiful missy! And of course, Zach is too. And Tyler looks like he's being such a good little daddy.

I hope he keeps growing and doing so well!
