Peanut

My little man is 4 weeks old today! Its crazy how fast time goes by! But at the same time it has gone by so slow. I cant wait to get Cam home and show him everything I have here waiting for him. Some days I get so impatient and discouraged it brings tears of frustration to my eyes. I cant imagine going through this without the support of my family.
Cameron is now eating and doing well. When he started eating this past Sunday he only got 5 mls of milk. When I walked in this morning Dr. Knee had approved the idea of upping the amount to 10 mls. Still a very small amount but at least Cam seems to be more comfortable and hunger pain free.
Tonight was a me night. Dana and I went to get our hair done. Usually I go back to the hospital after dinner so it was a little strange not seeing Cameron tonight. It was a little difficult because the only place I want to be is sitting in the rocker next to my peanut. But mentally for myself that wouldn't be the best idea.
Next week Marla, a fellow NICU mom ive become closer with, will get to take her son Collin home. Collin was born on September 15th and has been right next to Cam since. Its been getting difficult watching baby after baby walk out with no cords and tubes and be discharged. I didn't expect to be bothered by it. But im very happy for Collin :) He's so adorable and its good news that he finally gets to go home and begin his life as a little brother. I will miss Marla like crazy!
Cams 4 week old picture next to his bear Sunny.
Got his repogle out Sunday! You can still see his pink cheek from the tape.
 First bottle!! 

 In 10 years im going to get in soooo much trouble for putting this picture up. But little baby buns are too cute! Cam grew out of his size newborn diapers yesterday. It was a Kodak moment....even though I have a Canon.....
 My favorite way to hold him. We like to cuddle.
 Sleeping with his mouth WIDE open....yup thats Cam.

  1. I don't think he could be any more cute. :) can't believe how big he is getting already!! You look beautiful Meg! I can only imagine the emotional crazyness that you've been going through. I start to stress when thinking about being apart from my baby - Praying Cam gets to come home soon!!!
