Last night I held Jay for about 2 hours and this afternoon for about an hour and a half. It's truly the best part of my day. He's doing so well on the CPAP that they might start "sprinting" him on the Nasal Cannula. This is a device the next step up from the CPAP that will deliver extra oxygen to the baby as he needs it.

He's still on 21% most of the time on the CPAP with a rate of 5. He's doing really well.

His normal feeds will resume this week. The tests they've done for medical NEC are all coming back negative and I'm so grateful for that.

Here are a few pictures from last night of the baby without the CPAP on (he was breathing on his own)


7 weeks old!

Awww...he's still so tiny, but not nearly as tiny as he was even a few weeks ago. He's definitely growing well, mama!
