One Week Old


Wilson is one week old today. He weighs 4 lb. 5 oz. and no longer has an IV. His "tongue-tied" was corrected (snipped) yesterday and Mr. Wilson can now successfully stick out his tongue. Today was a fun day of cuddling; however he's not transferring as much milk as we would like, which is likely due to his small mouth and prematurity. They continue to lower his temperature in his incubator to prepare him to no longer need the added heat. My favorite time is when he's wrapped like a burrito and yawns really big with a hint of a smile.

Only a few more days until I get to go home with my boys. Although it's been really tough for them to stay in the house I'm so pleased that Mitch hasn't gotten sick and he will be able to see Wilson again on Thursday!
