Since he is in a bassinet he is able to wear clothes for the first time. They put him in a shirt, the smallest one they had. Then, when we went back later we put a little preemie outfit on him that we had. It's also too big, except for the hat.
We took a family picture tonight. We still have to wear the yellow gowns, and kids under age 16 aren't allowed in the NICU, so it's as much of a family pic as we can get for now.
Beckham is looking so good these days. Today his weight was up to 1795 grams, or 3 lbs 15 oz. So close to 4 lbs. He was very alert today for brief periods while we were there, so we were able to get a bunch of cute pics. He also did very well with the bottle tonight. He gets 5 mL twice per day by bottle and will gradually work his way up.
How sweet! My kids ask about him and always want to know how he is doing. Thanks for keeping us in the loop!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post. I am so thrilled that Beckham is doing so well and praying that he will soon be home with his family...then you can get a family picture with everyone. Thank you for taking the time to keep everyone updated.
