In the home stretch!!!

Luke is doing A.MA.ZING!!!! Everyone is so surprised at how well he is doing. Since my last post he has hit two major milestones....he got taken off his vapotherm and now is just on 1 liter of oxygen through his nose and  he is now breastfeeding!!!! The first day he got to was last Monday (1/30)...it was awesome! He knew exactly what he was supposed to do. He nurses better than I have seen most term babies nurse! We tried a bottle the next day and he didn't do so well with that. He has one problem....he is sooo eager to eat! He gets to sucking and sucking and then forgets to breathe! Everyone assures me that this will pass and he will coordinate his suck, swallow, breathe pattern soon.
We recently brought in his bouncy chair and he loves to sit in it. He just looks around and is taking it all in.

He has also graduated out of preemie clothes and is now in newborn! Today he is 36 weeks and 3 days and weighs 6 lbs 3.2 oz. He is a chunk!!

His eyes still seem to be his only problem. They haven't gotten any worse, but they also haven't gotten any better. We are still just taking it one week at a time.

Here are some pictures we have taken....enjoy!
He loves to sit and talk to daddy!

So tired....

Where's my food?!?!?

Sleepy baby....
Mommy's little monkey!
Hi Everyone!
