Hey everyone, sorry i haven't had the chance to post anything on Jake recently. We don't have access to the internet at home so I am having a hard time finding time. But for a quick update I will let everyone know that on mother's day I got to hold Jake!!!!!!!!! It was the best feeling to get to hold him. The nurse's had to get special permission because he is still so fragile and because he is on a ventiltor that isn't the safest thing to move around. There were a lot of precautions taken and in the end i got to hold him. The best thing was that Jake was awake and we just stared at each other for over 45 minutes. It was GREAT!!! It was the best Mother's Day gift ever!
The other big news is that The RSV ban has been lifted so Brooklyn got to meet her baby brother on sunday! She was in heaven and jake was wide awake to be able to look at her as well. I was so excited to listen to Brookie talk to Jake, she just kept saying Hi baby Jake, Hi Baby Jake over and over! She got to hold his hand and touch his tummy. I was really happy for her. She has been asking when she could meet him. It was very nice! I only wish Cayden could have been there but he will get to meet him on Saturday!
As for Jake he is now 1 lb 15 oz. He looks and feels much bigger to me even though he is still quite small. He is getting his intestines checked today to see if there is any obstruction that is stopping the milk going down which is stunting his growth, but as for now the X rays have all looked good. Which for me, I kind of wish they had found a problem so we could just get it fixed and end this waiting game but he just might have really premature bowels and it will just take time for them to mature so he can grow.
