I can see! Well, kinda...

I've been opening my eyes for a lot longer these days. I especially open them when Mommy and Daddy are holding me, I'm trying to put a face to the voice! It's still all blurry though, so I'm not getting much of a look. I had my eye exam today but it was "immature". That means I'm still too small for them to get any good measurements on them. So, they'll just redo the exam in two weeks. I'm not worried about it though, this test doesn't hurt at all.





Mommy and now Daddy hold me more often. Like I said previously, I try to stay awake as long as I can when I'm with them. I do real good when I'm with them...my oxygen saturation levels stay up and I don't brady! Nurse Patty was telling Mommy today that if my oxygen saturation levels stay up and I don't brady very often, than they'll try me back on the nasal canual again! It won't happen for a little while yet though.



I still weigh 1lb 10oz today, but my feeds have increased to 10ccs. I'm slowly gaining the weight, but for right now I like being small, I want to be able to wear all the new outfits Oma is making me! I hope she knows how to make bigger shirts though! By the way, my head is squished in the previous pictures because of my C-Pap mask! Have I mentioned this before, I can't wait until that thing comes off!

Good Morning Jamison,

What pretty eyes you have....I wonder, are they blue? They say all babies have blue eyes when they are born, just wondering. I'm so glad you're staying awake longer these days, soon you'll be able to stay up with your older sisters - how fun will THAT be!
Hang in there kiddo!

Love, Aunt Deb

Hi Jamison,

You still look beautiful to me, even if your face is a little squishy from that mask. Sooner or later that thing will be gone for good! Keep growing and making your Mommy and Daddy proud. Your Oma can make anything, any size, no need to worry about that.

Thinking only good thoughts for you so have a wonderful day!

Keep up the good fight. You've come along way so far. All of us at St. Margaret's Church in Emmaus are praying for you and your family. When you get to meet us ask for Caleb he and his parents are the "Ambassador Family" for the March of Dimes "Walk America" in the Lehigh Valley.
