One Week Later Update


Wow! What a difference a week makes! Our little baby is doing awesome. He is now taking a bottle and mom and dad finally get to hold their little boy. Unfortunaly grandparents have to wait til he comes home :( but I get to go into the nicu and see him! If everything continues to progress we are hoping he will be able to come home the end of the week or early next week. Yesterday was his one week birthday and I went to see him. He was awake (finally!) and was very curious about the world around him. He seemed to be mesmerized by his mommy's face, it was awesome to watch the two bonding. This was the first time I was able to see his eyes open. Everyone says he looks like Branden but I'm not sure. I have to give thanks to Arlington Memorial Hospital's NICU, they run a tight ship but are always there to answer questions or help mom and dad with the care of their baby. Of course Whitney and Laura are patiently waiting till he comes home so they can see him. Whitney has given me strict orders that when she comes home for the Thanksgiving holidays the very first stop has to be and Branden's and Sharla's! We are so thankful that a bad situation has turned out good and that mommy and baby are doing great!
