Ups and Downs!

One of the hardest things about having a baby in the NICU is how quick they can go up and down, however Connor hasn't had to many downs, but when he does it is emotionally draining. Today he had a really good day, with lots of visitors. He got to see Papa, Meme, Gr. and Gr. Goobie, Grammy, aunt Wendy,Vanessa, and Jenny, as well as some of his cousins Nico, Maddie, Abbie, and Emmie. Today there were two highlights for baby Connor. We never thought that as parents we would be so excited to see poop. For NICU babies, it is hard for them to have a bowel movement, but today was a big stepping stone for him and was able to go poop- he even inspired mommy to go for the first,time since delivery to, and today he got his first bath given by mommy!! Also today he weighed in at 1 pound 2 ounces. Our little boy is growing!!! Thanks for you continual thoughts and prayers!

  1. Hey Jess. Love the blog. It is so good to be able to follow your story and not just wait for updates thru the grapevine. I also read Julianne's blog and she said that she had met you and I am so glad. I was going to try to get you guys together because of your similar situations. She is such a nice girl. I worked with her (she worked out on the floor at JCP). Anyway, I wish you the best of luck and I will keep coming back for more updates. <3 M
