8 Weeks
8 weeks - 2lb 12 oz. - almost exactly twice the weight he was born at. It's been a long, scary, wonderful road. Our little boy has grown so much so far and although it's been hard, we appreciate all of the extra "tiny baby" time we've been blessed with. The time it takes going to and from the hospital every day is completly worth it when we arrive and get to see his baby smile. The wrenching concern we feel every time we see his numbers drop, even for a second and even when we know it will go right back up is worth it when his nurses tell us how well he's been doing that day or how he gained a few ounces. The seemingly constant pumping Stacy has to do each day to provide Luke with milk is worth it, knowing we'll get to feed it to him in a bottle one day soon. The fear of knowing all of the things he could still have to go through is worth it knowing that soon, it will all be behind us and Luke, Stacy and I will be a happy family together in our own home.

ReplyDeleteThanks again for taking us on this journey with you. I LOVE reading and re-reading every entry. It's a special gift to all of us and we really, really appreciate it!! I thought about why it took a little time for little Luke to gain some weight and realized he is part Hemmer you know!! It reminds me of when Matt tried drinking all those shakes and protein drinks to try to gain weight, and didn't gain a pound!!!
