Caleb/ 2 Weeks

Each week, they measure Caleb to chart his progress. He's doing very well. He's still in NICU in an isolette. He is now 4 lbs. 3 oz. and has grown 1/2 inch since birth. For babies at 32 weeks gestation, he is in the 90th percentile in length. He's long for his age. He needs to able to suck to get most of his food and maintain his own body temp. before he can get into an open crib . . .step by step. Shonna, unfortunately now has the cold Blake had. We pray for her quick recovery!

Oh no. Does that mean she can't see her baby?? That would kill me.

So sorry Shonna got that darn cold. Tell her to hang in there, this too shall pass. Caleb is making wonderful progress!

Caleb is a tough little guy! I love this picture - he looks SO cute in that sweet little onsie . . . I just love him already!

I'm so glad Caleb is continuing to grow and do so well. He is such a handsome little guy. I hope Shonna gets well quickly, poor thing must be exhausted.
