Day #18 We are over the 1300gram mark :)

So, I am becoming weight obsessed. I know that Trey's weight is very important in his development and his overall improvement. So anyhoo, it is what the nurses, doctors and my therapist call "weight obsessed". I am there without fail everyday at his weigh in. Tonight, just like every other night I help my breath and prayed for a gain...and guess what...he weighted 1337grams. I am so proud of him. Now, if we can keep up this weight gain day to day it will be no time until he is at 1500grams and can consistently maintain his body temp. Trey's apnea episodes have started to slow down, thank God. He is still have brady episodes but they are a prematurity issue and he will grow out of them or so I am told. I do think they will want to give him a blood transfusion but I am okay with that. I know that it will make him feel much better and that is much better then antibiotics.

Chris and I went and bought the letters for Trey's wall in his nursery to spell out his name "CHRISTOPHER" and I am so excited to put them up. The little things like washing his clothes or organizing his nursery really help to make me feel like a mom. I still can't wait to have him home but the little milestones like getting to a certain weight, looking forward to windowing or bottle feeding helps make this journey look a little shorter.
