Chance update PIP

Chance is doing amazing! He had all of his IV's taken out yesterday and is no longer on IV food. He is getting his mommies breast milk through a nasogastric tube (a tube that goes from his nose straight to his belly). He isn't gaining any weight so they are adding more calories to my breast milk (he's 2lbs 15 oz right now). They said that this is completely normal. He is only on 1 liter of nasal oxygen, so he should be off of his oxygen soon! What a blessing this has been. The respiratory nurse said that he is doing things that normal babies his age shouldn't be able to do. This has been such a hard road for my husband and I but we are so grateful for this little bundle of joy. He has stole our hearts! I mean, look at his picture, how can you not love him?! 
The nurses gave him some preemie clothes. They make him look huge, but you can fit two of him in these outfits
Also.. here are some things I wish I would have done or been able to do before Chance arrived... I hope this helps someone:
Buy nursing bras, buy nursing breast pads (yes you will leak right away), take a picture of my bare belly (i always took pics, but not without a shirt... i said i'd do it at the hospital..yup that didn't happen), buy zip up or button up shirts if your nursing, buy pads bc you will bleed no matter how you are going to deliver your baby, and if you are buying your own gown and plan to nurse, get a nursing gown...i know there is more, but these are a few things that i wish i would have been prepared for...good luck everyone! can't wait to see pics of everyones beautiful babies!
