Keaton has made a lot of progress in the last week or so. About a week ago Keaton was moved from the NICU nursery A (where babies with more serious complications need to be) to NICU nursery B, where Keaton gets to be now because he is doing so great! So he now gets to be in what they call the "growing" nursery. Early this week I was able to start nursing Keaton which has been really special for me to be able to have that kind of bonding time with him. And he is catching on quickly with it (well, some days he does better than others :) ). Also, earlier this week Keaton's oxygen levels were turned down to a half liter, which is so great too cause each day he learns to breath better and better by himself.
(Thanks Heather for the super cute preemie pajamas, they fit him perfectly.)

He IS getting bigger... but still so tiny! I'm happy to hear that he is progressing quickly! Such a sweet heart! And nursing is such a special thing to share with your baby. I hope you keep with it because it is really rewarding... but can be VERY hard! I know. I had it rough with my first baby, but stuck it through with encouragement from family and I'm soooo happy I did :)
He is so adorable! I'm glad he is doing well.
he is growing fast and you already get to nurse that is amazing. Ev was on oxygen til the day she came home. Go baby boy he really is pregressing fast as heck!!! em was 2 lbs 9 oz and it took her forever to get to 3lbs. 8 oz! hang in there mama. have you done skin to skin time with him. his bare chest to yours. no feeding. it is beautiful and helps them a lot. :)
oh and yes i hope you can continue to nurse. premies are even more difficult and having to pump when you are not with them, try using a photo of him while you do it helped a lot for me. muah
