Merry Christmas mommy and daddy!!!!!

The weight he needed to get to was 1500 grams to get out of the isolette. BUT he is doing so very well with maintaining his own body temperature and with steadily putting on weight. I was so happy!!! He's getting so big!!!!!

Austin is ready for the Black Tie Affair!!!!! LOL Santa Claus is on his way!!! Santa and Austin 2011 Christmas 2011 Austin's living quarters! Drew talking with Santa Claus 2011 |
This will be one Christmas we will never forget! Thank you all for your continued prayers and support!!! Austin continues to do better every day! Our main goal at this time is continual weight gain. Next is to ween him off of the CPAP. He is on a peep of 6....we will ween him to a peep of 5 and if he does well with that, he will have window times with the cannula... then move to the cannula and hopefully be off of that before he comes home!!!! Once off of the CPAP... I get to begin to feed him!!!! I love this little baby so much! He is so AWESOME!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A VERY BLESSED HOLIDAY SEASON AND ALWAYS SEE THE JOYS IN LIFE.... WE ARE BLESSED IN SO MANY WAYS.... XOXOXO
WOW he looks great! It is so nice to see him doing well. I am going to post about him again on our Feb12 board. I know many missed the last one! I hope you get to take him home soon. He looks wonderful. I love the Christmas blanket! Keep on growing little man!

Such beautiful pictures! So glad Austin got to see Santa!! Im so happy for you he is doing ok! I had lost my baby girl at 26 weeks 2 days gestation back in January, and just seeing what she could have been, like your baby boy is such a miracle. Good luck with everything and I hope he grows into a big strong boy!!
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH!!! Look at him, he's getting so chubby :) Congratulations on hitting such a wonderful milestone and for being able to celebrate Christmas together.

So happy to see that Austin is doing so well. Congrats on making it to the open crib! Only parents of micro preemies can appreciate the importance of such milestones. Thank you for sharing your little miracle man.
