Favorite method of eating: Gavage. No effort necessary, snuggled up to mom or dad, sleep during the whole thing...Jamison lives the good life. Next week we'll work on the whole eating on his own thing. Right now, it's not his favorite and we're okay with that. We're just enjoying this tiny babe in our arms as he enjoys that food through his feeding tube.
Grandma Nichols leaves in the morning and we are so sad. She has been so amazing to have here for the past 3 weeks and we're so grateful for all her help. We have meals for days, a clean place, a bassinet, a crib, and everything else we weren't prepared for. She has taken care of me as I recovered from delivery, a rash that took over my body for a few weeks, mastitis, and all the emotions that come with being a new mom with the added roller coaster of the NICU. We couldn't be more grateful for her. I don't know what I'm going to do without all her help here. Fastest three weeks ever! We love you, Grandma Nichols!
A whole hand in pounds! Such a big guy! Grow Jamison grow!
