This week was pretty quite for baby Charlie. He is continuing to grow with each day. Little by little he is getting close to 1,800 grams (close to 4 lbs) and that means he will be freed from his isolette!!! I am hoping this will be Charlie's first present to his mom and dad:) Once he reaches this milestone he will be in an open air crib and we can kiss him all the time!!!
Also this week David came to visit from Des Moines! Charlie was so excited to see one of daddy's oldest friends.
We have been working with Charlie and his pacifier skills, as well as taking his bottle. We had two successful mini-bottle feeds this week. Go Charlie Go!!!!
Dad telling Charlie how proud he is of taking his bottle - and that he hopes his hair is not red!
Aunt Colleen and Uncle Matt came by for a visit.
Charlie telling Baby Penny to COME OUT!!!! And it worked! Baby Penny arrived yesterday - Charlie can't wait to meet his new friend! xoxo
Someone decided he didn't need his feeding tube in his nose - and ripped it out! Our nurse decided to let him be free for a little break - so Charlie's face was tube-less:)
Daddy and I thought this was a pretty kissable face:)
On Friday Charlie had a few Desat's and one Brady while we were visiting. This was pretty uncommon for his recent behavior. He had blood drawn and we will see if there is any sign of infection in a few days. Until then, our doctors put him on antibiotics to be safe. Hopefully this does the trick and his energy will be back up for more bottle feeds!
