March 2nd to March 16th
Dylan turned 10 weeks old last Friday- the day after Andrew's 2nd birthday. Too bad Andrew hasn't had a chance to meet his little brother yet (kids can't come into the ICN during the cold & flu season).
Dylan has made so much progress since we last updated the blog. He has gained over a pound and is now 4 pounds 13 ounces! He doesn't seem like a premie any more - at least not to mom and dad. He has been off all oxygen for almost two weeks and in a crib (no more isolette to keep him warm) for a week. And he is doing great! He has started to take small amounts of milk from a bottle, but hasn't mastered the complicated task of breathing while doing it, so he still has a feeding tube in his nose. He also still gets his daily caffeine fix to help him remember to breathe.
Mom is loving being able to spend hours every day holding and feeding her precious baby and dad is too every chance he gets. We feel so lucky to have grandparents and Cheri (our nanny) to help us out every day for the past 10 weeks.
While Dylan is still doing great and making progress daily, mom and dad are getting anxious to bring him home. We don't know when little Dylan will be ready, but we are guessing close to his due date (April 18th).
