Congratulations @Sassenach1743 ! Eli is absolutely precious and I'm so happy to hear he's thriving. Hoping he easily packs on the pounds in these next couple of months before you get to bring him home

Congratulations on the beautiful birth of your baby! Although it was not ideal it seems to have worked perfectly for both you and baby. I'm glad to hear that you and baby Eli are doing well. My prayers will be with you and your family! He is a fighter!! Grow baby Eli, grow!!
Oh my goodness, congratulations!!! I am so glad that you and the very handsome Eli are doing well. I hope he gains weight quickly and can come home soon. T&Ps to you both.

phase is precious and in a way you get 2 extra months of it so you win!
He already has such a great story to tell! To second pps

Congratulations to you and your husband on you beautiful little baby boy, Eli! So sorry you had to go through such a scary and stressful delivery, but I am thrilled to hear baby is doing so well, and you are recovering well. I'll keep you all in my thoughts. Congratulations again! I love his name, and he is adorable!
This weekend was so awesome. Saturday was my baby shower, and Sunday was my first Mother's Day. I can't even begin to describe how thankful I am for all that I have and all the wonderful support around me.
Little E is continuing to amaze us. He's growing so strong and changing everyday. He's up to 2lb 8.6oz, as of today. Tolerating 24 mL's of fortified 24 calorie breast milk every 3 hours, maintaining on low oxygen levels (he's comfortable at 23%, we breathe 21%) and Brady (apnea) episodes are getting fewer. He's growing and he's thriving! His little face is changing and his hair is growing... he's so darn cute. And the PICC line came out Saturday night!! Big progress!
Here he is lounging. Look at those toes!!!!
Sunday I held my sweet boy for a little more than an hour. My Mom and MIL came with me and sat with us and we talked and laughed together. Eli loved the sounds of our voices. The snuggles were the best Mother's Day gift! And the NICU nurses put roses and cards on all the baby's isolettes for the Moms... they even signed Eli's name on my card.
And here is the beautiful cupcake tower display and favors from the shower. MIL really turned out a lovely event. Wish I'd taken more pictures but these were the only ones I got. It was all Outer Space themed, so cute!
We're doing great and I'm so thankful. Thank you for asking
I almost started crying reading this! Im so glad you are both doing well and that you had a nice shower. Baby Eli is very strong and is definitely benefiting from your positivity!
@Sassenach1743 What a great update! Thank you for checking in-- I'm sure you're busy but we definitely all have you and Eli on our minds. I can't see any of the pics you posted for some reason, though!
@Sassenach1743 Awww this is too cute, im so happyyyy! That's all I can say! And please when you have the time I would love to see the pictures (somehow I can't!)
Baby Eli is looking so strong! What a perfect Mother's Day gift to have the card, flower, and be able to hold him longer! Thank you for the update. I am so happy for your family and will continue to keep you in my prayers.
LOVE the photos!! It sounds like you had an amazing shower and Mother's Day, and that cupcake display is so adorable. Glad to hear Eli has been taking big strides too!! Congratulations again
