Day #59 & # 60 2 months old today FINALLY over 6lbs

Yesterday, Trey got his two month shots and has been kinda sleepy since then. He is doing well and taking 2 bottles a day and the rest by his NG tube. I hate seeing him so sleepy and out of it but I have been told that every baby deals with shots in their own way and for him it might be sleeping it off. I weighed the decision to give him his shot pretty heavily. I spoke with several doctors and nurses. I wanted to vaccinate him but I wasn't sure if we should wait until he adjusted to 2mths old not his actual age, but we decided that when he comes home that it is best to have him vaccinated against as much as possible. Here are his stats for 1mth and 2 mth

1 months 3lbs 12Oz 16 1/2 inches long

3months 6lbs .5Oz 19 3/4 inches long

I am doing better then yesterday and even better then the day before that. I think the closer we get to Christopher's actual due date the more I morn the pregnancy and birth he and I should have had. I tell myself that he should still be inside me, safe. I feel like I have failed him and I don't even know why. We still have no clue why I delivered early and probably never will. I just wish I could have kept him safe longer. But he is doing very well and will be home by the end of this coming month and I can't wait.
