Day 22. 4/21/2014.

Weight: 4lbs. 13oz.

Plan for the day: XRay, Rest and Grow

Mommy dropped Daddy off at the airport at 4am this morning so he could go back to work and also be with your big brother Graham.  It doesn't get any easier, but I guess I'm just getting a little more used to this.

I talked with Dr. M first thing this morning and because of the reflux issues you've been having and since you're still on your CPAP, she ordered an XRay of your lungs again to see if anything is going on.  I bet she'll find you have Superman lungs lol!

We sprinted this morning and I held you and sang to you and told you stories about your big brother Graham.  Oh, how Mommy's heart aches to be with him.  If you knew him and how sweet and loving and playful and smart and (I could go on) he is, you'd miss him very much too.  In fact, I think you do miss him.  You used to hear him all day and night when you were in what Daddy calls "Mommy's Baby House."


There's so many things we can't wait to show you and do with you and experience together as a family.  But, until then, we will be here in our cozy little NICU room together, riding out this storm.

Visitors today: Mommy's cousins, your Uncle Troy, Aunty Chelsie, Uncle Dane and Aunty Heather, came to visit you today!  You were tuckered out from our busy morning and slept the whole time.


And this afternoon, we "nippled" from the bottle together.  It takes a lot more coordination since you're a premie with a feeding tube in your mouth and a CPAP, but you did it!  A whole 10ccs (about two teaspoons)!  That makes Mommy giggle, it's so cute!


It was another good day for Team Garcia!

Sleep well tonight, Baby Maverick!  Tomorrow is going to be a good day too... I can feel it!  Love you Baby!  XOXO
