Brig decided that he had waited long enough to join us and decided to come six weeks early. After a very difficult week of bedrest, medication, a heart monitor, steroids, and much worry and stress Brig decided he had had enough. March 25, 2010 He joined our family weighing in at 5 pounds 8 ounces (yes he was big) and 19.5 inches long. He is a very determined little boy and is doing very well for how early he arrived. He did very very well the first two days and has had a few set backs which are to be expected in the NICU. He is still trying so hard to grow that he gets tired very easy and sometimes doesn't want to wake up and eat so they have to tube feed him sometimes. His lungs are also a little under developed so he is on the smallest amount of oxygen possible. It has been a very hard emotional week and we are looking forward to being able to bring him home. The medical staff really can't tell us when we will be able to bring him home because every baby is so different. We probably have at least two weeks left in the NICU but are looking forward to when this experience is behind us. Here are some picuters of our new little guy. I know I am a bit partial but I think he is the cutest thing ever.
