Progress...

Over the last couple days there definitely has seemed to be a lot of progress made.  Over the weekend we only noticed ONE episode compared the the ELEVEN he had last weekend and we didn't notice any yesterday!!  Also, he seems to actually be in very good spirits.  He is smiling a little more, sleeping a lot but being really sweet and cuddly while he is up.  I do think that his little belly is getting a bit bigger and his face is filling out some but like I said, he was only at 7% in weight and 67% in height so it is just helping him catch up.  I am so proud of him though, he is being such a lil sport when it comes to the shots...at least one of the three of us are taking them a little better!!

Before all of this came about the doctors had decided that it would be best for Logan to get a helmet to help with the shaping of his head, so yesterday we went in to get fitted.  Doesn't seem quite fair that he has yet another thing to deal with but from what everyone has said they don't seem to mind it much and really it is harder on us than him.  It will be about 2 weeks until it is ready and then he will have it on for the next 3-4 months they said.  I am just hoping that it is off in time for his birthday...they said his head is growing like crazy so there is a good chance!!

Just doing a little PT working on my sittin...
Today was physical therapy and he did so great!  Usually he is a bit whiney when the therapist is working with him but today he was so well behaved throughout the entire appointment.  She comes to our house which is very nice and convenient and has been working with him every week since February so has gotten to know him very well.  She is also very happy with the progress he was making this week compared to the last couple of weeks and it is always good to get another professionals opinion, especially one that has seen him for so long.

It sure seems like the medicine and prayers are working so keep them coming...I am just loving seeing my lil man come back to life and get his personality back...each day we are getting one step closer!!

5 & 6!! - November 13-14, 2013

The title of this post says everything although you may not realize what it means...we have finally hit 2 very exciting milestones related to 5 & 6.  Let me break them down for you... I like 5 & 6! As of yesterday morning our little man is now weighing in at 5 pounds 1.7 ounces!!!  That means in just one month he has grown almost 2 pounds and is now the size of some regular term babies (albeit small ones).  Also, now that he is 5 pounds he can get in a carseat safely (which means we can take him home as soon as everything else is ready) and he is almost growing out of his preemie clothes!   Now on to 6...as of Wednesday afternoon they were able to finally move Logan down on his High Flow Nasal Cannula from level 7 to level 6.  I was a little worried how he would do on this but honestly he is doing better than when he was at level 7.  When I held him on Thursday he did the best he has ever done, he didn't drop his vitals too many times and f...

HOME!! - December 12, 2013

On my way home!! I am so excited to finally be able to write the post I have been waiting 2 months for...our little man has come home!!  The past week has been quite an eventful one but in the end we have our baby at home with us.  Logan made a ton of progress the last week in the hospital, moving to 8 bottles a day on Friday the 6th, moving off the cannula on Saturday the 7th and finally coming home exactly 2 months after he was born and 3 days after his original due date on Thursday, December 12th, weighing in at 7 pounds 3 ounces and 20 inches long!!  It is such a crazy and wonderful feeling to finally have him here with us and for the first time in 3 months not to be at the hospital!  There is this perfect and beautiful baby that has joined our daily lives and we couldn't be happier, I just love having my little family finally all together!!   The first night home was a little tough, I think I was just a little Mommy paranoid, checking every coupl...

A Bottle?!?! - November 19 - 21, 2013

So sleepy! The last couple of days have been pretty productive and exciting for us.  Our little man has made some great progress!  He has moved down to level 2 which means he is now on the low flow nasal cannula instead of the high flow and as of today he has tasted his first taste!   I think I like this new method of eating, it is so tasty!! Today was a big day and we had our first bottle feeding and I think that Logan did great.  The nurse had to do the first feeding and when we started out he had a couple of moments where he wasn't breathing as well as he should but after about 5 minutes he seemed to have it figured out.  He was able to take about 2/3 of his normal feeding (35 out of 51 cc's) and on a scale of 1 to 10 the nurse said he was an 8 for his first time.  From here on out we will be able to give him his bottles and I can't wait to see how he does with us.  They said that there is a chance they will add another bottle tomorrow to...
