Day 98

Gestational Age: 38 weeks 2 days
Weight: 2815 grams
6 lbs 3 oz

Josh is doing really well. he graduated out of the incubator and is now in a big boy crib. He was so animated tonight! He is up to 12cc's an hour for feeds and the goal is 15. Then they will probably keep him on that for a bit and then try to do a bigger amount in a smaller amount of time like a real feed. It's slow and steady! Once he is finally off the TPN he will start to lose some of his jaundice (yellow color due to excess bilirubin from the liver).

Here are some new pictures....

Praise God!!! He is answering all our prayers in HIS time which is THE PERFECT time. God obviously has a plan for this little man!!
I only truly notice the jaundice color in his eyes and my li'l man had that until he was a good 6 wks old. Josh is so sweet, and actually the "normal" size of a newborn now!! YAY!! A long Hard Journey may be graduating to a miraculous smooth sailing trip:)
Hugs and May Many Blessings shower upon you in your life Li'l Josh, special gift to your mommy and daddy from heaven!!!
