Don't complain about boring...

I'm glad I haven't had anything exciting to blog about.  Wesley is doing great.  He is 3lb 7.5oz. His last weight I posted was wrong so this is a gain ;) I held Wesley first and he was so happy.  I would kiss him and he would smile every time.  One time he even laughed.  He's just too cute. 

 

I can't wait to see his face without tape accross it!

And to whoever reads this blog that's buying Wesley clothes... We won't need any preemie clothes.  He already fits in them and he won't by the time he gets out.  Anything is appreciated though ;) 

Wesley does this when he is hungry.  He doesn't cry yet.  I know that day will come.... He can't be that perfect.  It was nice hearing the current nurse tell the shift change nurse how easy Wesley is. Doesnt fuss or cry, real laid back.  Just eats sleeps and poops :). I'm proud of the little guy 

Dinner time! Good night! Tomorrow is a big day! Wesley meets my parents!!!

Grandparents love their grandson

Wesley was held by his grand parents for the first time today (joes parents)!  

He is now back in a private room but in the area of the stable bottle babies.  Even though he isn't on a bottle for a few more weeks this will prob be his last stop. 

Since Wes still had on his outfit from yesterday, I put him in my fav one :D

Then joe took him out to hold him...

After we had him out for a little while a nurse came in and we took his temp and he was too cold to be out so I didn't get to hold him :( 

Here he is all bundled up to raise his temp back up.  He has no problems and he's a healthy preemie.  He gets to see my parents on Saturday so lots of new faces lately.  Hopefully tomorrow I have time at lunch to come hold him to make up for tonight.

Great things come in small packages

Wesley is doing great still.  I was able to visit an hour before lunch then went to pain dr.  Hopefully they can get my pain under control before he comes home.  Wesley is now eating an ounce every 3 hrs and weighs 3lb 6.6oz! 

He was a happy boy at lunch

Then he winked lol.

Joe and I came back after dinner and he was being fed so we had to wait to hold him.  Wesley also met someone new and he showed her how cute he was and smiled real big being flirty.  Then she said she wanted to steal him so we kicked her out haha j/k 

I let joe hold him since I did at lunch time.

He was yawning here but looks like he is home alone haha.

Than he was in deep thought.

Tomorrow is another day and hopefully will be just as great!

Lullabies and goodnight

Well we just had one visit with Wes today.  Both of us had too much going on at lunch to stop by.  He was moved to the long twin room which is just like his last room but two stations together.  His roomate was already gone so he was still alone.  Don't know if he will be moved again tomorrow.  We shall see. 

Hi everyone!!

He was chowing down on his paci yum!

Daddy got him to smile

Then Wes stuck his tongue at him for teasing him with the paci.

Then he winked at us.

After he had a full belly I changed a stinky diaper. PU!💩

Then he passed out in my arms and I played lullabies on my phone. Nite nite Wesley we love u!

The inn is full

Wesley is doing great.  He had his eye exam today and no signs of ROP which is great! His eyes were still dilated at lunch so I had to hold him in the dark.

But even with his sensitive eyes he was still a happy boy!

When we came back this evening they told us they were getting more babies then they had room for so Wesley was being temporarily moved to a twin room and he would share the night with another baby and a curtain would separate them. Tomorrow he will be moved back into his own room once some babies go home that are ready.  We may get a bigger room then with a tv.  

Wesley doesn't mind sharing :)

When I held him he was passed out.

Then he met his aunt DD.

They were both very chatty and Debbie promised him a poney.  I'm putting this in writing so Wesley can make sure she holds to her promise!

We are so blessed that Wesley is doing so well!

Happy Father's Day Joe!

Today was Joe's first Father's Day and I really wanted him to change a diaper, but the nurse JUST changed it before we walked in lol.  He got lucky.  I let Joe hold him first and snapped a few pics on the good camera.

He loves that boy so much!

He's always holding daddy's finger 😍

Wesley's weekly hippo pic.  He still looks small next to it ;)

Then it was my turn to hold so I took some pictures with my phone.  Wesley was wide away and looks like he is getting better vision and he just was so amused with looking at me.

This shirt makes his eyes look brown but in person they still look that dark blue that all babies have

We both are so in love with this little man and hope we have many many more Father's days to celebrate!

6 weeks old and 3 lbs!

My baby boy is growing and he is 3lb 1.8 oz.  He is 6 weeks old as of 8:50pm.  I can't believe we have at least 6 more weeks to go before he can come home.  Joe and I only saw him once today as work was busy and then we went to Benton to visit Joe's cousin who was in town.

When we got to the hospital they just finished bathing him.  He was wrapped up all nice and warm. 

Joe held him first and he was worn out.  When I held him he barely opened his eyes. 

And I finally caught a smile but it wasn't a big one.  It was still super adorable!

He is so perfectly adorable I can hardly stand it!!!
