i can't believe that sweet baby Nicholas turned 1 month old yesterday. It feels like only yesterday that I gave birth to him. He's doing amazing. He's up to 3lbs, down to 5 pressure and 5 flow on his CPAP, so hopefully he'll be off it in the next two weeks. As I write this now he's laying on my chest sleeping. It's just magical. He eats 28mL's of breast milk every 3 hours and he's always tolerates his feedings. He loves pooping and does it often. It's crazy to think how far he's come.
On a side note, I've been blessed with the greatest coworkers that ever existed. They set up a schedule for us where someone in the office makes us dinner every Monday and Thursday. They've been the most supportive as well. It's hard because a lot of people are concerned and reaching out to you when everything happens and then all of a sudden it's like dead air, and I'm talking about people I've known since middle school. I'm just so blessed to have amazing people in my life.
Can't wait to see all your babies being born. We're getting closer to April!!!!
