Nick's First Christmas

Nick had a great Christmas. He had a good day yesterday. As of 8 am this morning, he hasn't had any de-sats since 4am yesterday. He has gone over 24 hours. That is really good!

He continues to grow and get big. New weight, 2lbs, 3.2 ounces. He is still getting his feeds, and will go up again today to 6.8 cc's an hour.

Other than that for now, not many changes. He had a lot of visitors yesterday, so I didn't hold him, but plan to try kangaroo care again today. I just love holding him.

Nick got lots of Christmas presents yesterday. Lots of books, clothes, and a rocking horse. I know he will be excited to use these as soon as he gets big. Even though he spent his first Christmas in the NICU, he had a good one.

Praising the Lord for a good first Christmas for Nicholas, and that he's continuing to thrive. It won't be long before he's moved into the "growing room" at the rate he's gaining weight:)
Have a blessed New Year!
