Hello Everyone.. Sorry it has been awhile since our last post...we have been busy keeping up with the little guy :) It's been such a joy to be home and he has adjusted well, (and so have we!) He fits right into our life perfectly, the way we always imagined it!! We are SO lucky to have such a good baby! He rarely cries, only for good reason like when he is hungry or needs a diaper change. He's been eating every 3 hours usually during the day and overnight he will sleep for 4 hours :)
This past week we went to 2 appointments the first one was to the Eye Dr. who said....He doesnt need to see him anymore :) Looks like his retinas have fully developed and look good! We did however, get a referral to a pediatric opthamologist to check on him in a few months. The reason for that is, it is very common for preemies to have a weak muscle and can develop a lazy eye.
Our Pulmonology appointment went very well! We were given the official word that Collin no longer needs to be on oxygen!! YAY!! They said he looks fantastic, and would never know looking at him that he was a 25 weeker! His length was 22.5 inches and he weighed in at 11 pounds 6 oz :) They judged him by his corrective age (1 month old, not 4 which is actual age) and he made the growth charts in the 90th percentile :)
So all good news all around! Here are some updated photos



I missed these updates, even though I see him often. He is doing great as you said and so are you guys, you both are so good with him and I couldn't be more proud. Love you 3 so much! Grammy/Mom
