My adoption journey with baby Wesley Andrew: Saturday May 17 Wesley is 2 weeks old!!

Wesley is doing well with his breathing, heart rate dropped again this morning but he recovered on his own. Dr called and said he is doing well on breathing and said still too soon for transfer but it's getting better yay! His red count was low so he said they would do a transfusion today. He is tolerating his food but they will discontinue feeds while transfusing. The nurse said he gets caffeine in his IV, I thought this was interesting. I don't think she was joking.

Tonight we were trying to decide what to have for dinner and the thought came to mind about going and staying the night at the McDonald house. Only 10$ key deposit and the stay is free! Just have to have hospital call them to prove we have a baby there. How cool is that?!?!

We arrived in Monroe and checked in to the McDonald house. It's fully stocked with snacks, drinks and food you can cook. Pretty nice for a free room.

Got to the hospital and Wesley has another roommate. Now he isn't the only boy. This one is smaller than Wes was when he was born. Prayers for the little guy. The two girls he's been bunking with seem to be doing well too. Wesley got his blood this afternoon and he was nice and pink for us. I asked about the caffeine and it's true. They use it for the apnea (stopping breathing). So even Wesley gets his morning cup!

Wesley greeted us with a wave today! He is filling out. He's just a hair under 2lbs!!!! Yay!!! His head is rounding out and looking less come shaped too. We have a looker here. Ladies watch out! Of course I'm biased ;).

Joe was ecstatic to see his prints on his incubator. He didn't think they made them. We will take them home tomorrow. How cute are those tiny toes!
