I can't believe our little man is a week old already! I am counting down the days till he can come home with me. But for the time being I know he is in the best place and he continues to grow stronger everyday. Its amazing to see the little improvements day by day. He had dropped some weight down to 3lbs 4oz...but has gained back to 3lbs 12 1/2oz so he's almost back up to his birth weight. Man I love this little guy. They took his C-PAP off today to see how he was doing with his breathing. He did good for a little while and we got some great pictures of his face, but they had to put him back on because he was getting a little stressed and kept dropping his heart rate. His skin color has improved so much. He had a little bit of jaundice for awhile so they had these two bright lights on him, but those are gone now also. He tries so hard to open his little eyes while we are there. Every once in a while I'll catch a glimpse and it makes it all worth it. The other night he opened them while I was holding him and just stared for what seemed like hours...but I'm sure it was only a few seconds. It was just so sweet to get to see into his face. I love him so much. Its incredible how much love you can have for such a tiny creature. He is such a precious little gift from my Heavenly Father and I treasure every moment that I get to spend with him. He's such a sweet little boy!
Oh my goodness he's so cute! And holy crap you look awesome...not cool. haha, I kid. Anyways, I can't wait til you can take him home either. Love you tons!

You guys pretty much have a miracle baby. That is so amazing. My nephew was born with three more weeks on him than TJ and he barely weighed a couple ounces more. I can't believe how much your baby weighed, and how great you did in your labor progressing so fast and everything. I'm so glad all that scariness turned out great. We'll pray for TJ to get strong so he can go home too!
