Our family and friends have been such a great help these last two weeks. We are so humbled by the generosity and support. This week we’ve had several meals provided for us which were very appreciated!

Today marks Lex’s second week with us. Just 6 more weeks before his official due date. The NICU has a checklist of items that we need to be comfortable with before we can take Lex home. We took an infant CPR class yesterday, which is one of the items on our checklist. Tomorrow we have a Parent Education class which teaches things like poison prevention, car seat safety, SIDS, immunizations, etc. All good stuff that we really need to know.

Lex is still struggling to take a full bottle because it is just so much food. At our 5 pm feeding he took all but about 12 ml out of a total of 42 ml. He’s a champ for trying so hard. Today his doctor called and said that he is doing great and is an “exceptional” baby.
