3 weeks old today :)

It's crazy, but Gabe has already been in the hospital for 3 weeks!  I went back to work two weeks ago to finish up my rotation while he was still in the hospital, and thankfully time has been passing pretty fast.  I go every day at lunch, after work, then Michael and I go after dinner every day to visit the cutie pie.  He is doing great so far!  He has been off the oxygen since a couple days after birth, and he got off his IV at the 1 week mark.  We have also moved from the isolette bed to a regular crib!  He was under the UV light for a little while, but has gotten off of that too, so he is technically just a "feeder/grower" now!  At the last weigh-in we were there for, Gabe weighed 4 lbs 7 oz, but he has probably gained more since then.  We have also been taking bottles for the past 4 days, and they are increasing those as well.  Hopefully he will come home not too long after the new year so 2012 can start off great :) I am so ready to have him home!

We appreciate all the prayers so so much.  Please continue to pray for Gabriel's continued progress with eating and his time in NICU without any setbacks.  Much love.

How cute are those cheeks?

Daddy loves holding Gabe :)
