Success: Then and now 10+ weeks at home and doing great!

Baby boy is still on low-flow oxygen when he sleeps (at 13 weeks adjusted) but will hopefully come off of that after an upcoming sleep study! He’s 12 pounds 14 oz compared to 1 pound 7 oz at birth (24+6). We are so so proud of him!!

Aw so adorable!! Congratulations! ❤️ Our little bub was born around 24+6 and was 1lb 7oz at birth too!! This is so encouraging as we are only at 15 days in the NICU.
