Graham has been home for 3 weeks now & is doing great. Of course, he gets me up every 3-4 hrs to eat. He has grown 2.5 inches since birth & gained over 2 lbs since being at home. The doctors are pleased with his progress & he has been such a joy.We are learning about the differences between preemies & full term babies. So many things to be aware of and things we can do to help get them on track. It can take preemies up to 2 yrs to catch up.
Graham is anxious for his twin brother to come home. We don't know that for sure, but we assume he shares our thoughts. Graham has the cutest amount of peach fuzz on the sides of his face, the top of his arms & the tops of his legs. The NICU nurses could not get over how cute he looks with it. It will eventually disappear.
He is wearing newborn sleepers, but they continue to be big. Notice how we have to roll up the sleeves. He'll be wearing these for months.
Graham loves to be held. He sleeps so well when someone is holding him. Spencer & Kate are always wanting to hold & cuddle with him. Spencer lays him on his chest or next to him & they watch sports together. Spencer talks to him & shares all his sports knowledge.Kate has become quite the little mother to Graham. She helps change diapers (even dirty ones), holds & cuddles him, helps with bath time & is always checking on him. She loves to give kisses and thinks the "baby" smell is the best.
