Big Boy

One week ago Drew weighed 10 pounds! He is growing so fast, we could never have imagined that he would do so well. It seems like it was such a long time ago that Drew was in the hospital, almost like a dream. We are excited for it to start warming up so that Drew can go outside, and visit his nurses! We are fortunate that he hasn't gotten sick or had any problems since he left the hospital. His eyes are doing really well and the doctor is confident that they will fully heal and mature well. Drew will probably have his hernia operation soon and then hopefully the rest of this year will be pretty uneventful. Drew loves to throw his little fits if he is being ignored or doesn't want his diaper changed, but he quickly calms with some attention and his binky:) We love him so much, and we are cherishing every second with him.

Almost Nine Pounds!

Drew weighs a whopping 8 pounds 15 ounces now! It is hard to remember how small he was just a month ago. Since coming home Drew has gained 2 pounds 9 ounces, he weighs 40% more than he did four weeks ago! He has also gained an attitude:) He knows that all he has to do is let out a little whimper and someone will rush over to pick him up and entertain him. Drew loves his little stuffed animals (an elephant and his bear), he loves his bottle, binky, swing, mobile, mirror, boppy pillow, car seat, and he loves to be on his tummy. Pretty much Drew loves everything except for sleeping in his crib or getting his diaper changed. We love everything about our little guy, he is so much fun!

Three Weeks Home

Drew has been home for three weeks and he is doing great! He is still pretty much in control of his own schedule and we love tending to his every need:) Last week Drew had his eye check up and it went really well. His right eye has completely recovered and his left eye is looking good but hasn't fully matured. Drew has another check-up in two weeks to see how his left eye is doing. We just keep praying that he will not have any major long term difficulties with his vision, so far Drew has been very fortunate. Drew has been working really hard on keeping his head up. He loves laying on his tummy and doing his push ups. He also love his swing and loves to be held almost every minute he is awake, which we love too. He has brought us so much joy, we still get excited to feed him and bathe him and play with him as if it was our first day at home with him. He has given us a more meaningful purpose to our lives and we look forward to watching him grow.
