Update on Brock

I forgot to mention how much Brock weighted and his length. Brock weighted 7 lbs 7 oz and 21 inches long, now if he would have went full term I would have been in big trouble!

We went to see him on Saturday with my parents and it was so sad cause his little feet were so swollen from all of the fluids they are giving him and his lipid levels were alright. Later that night the doctor called and his lipid levels dropped so they had to give him a palate transfusion. I couldn't take it anymore and I just started to cry that night. He does so good and then he goes down I told Brandon I just want my baby home. Sunday I was so sick of just sitting around that I had to do something. I was tired of crying and feeling helpless so it was good to do a little cleaning and I got to work on his quilt so that made me feel happy. We went down and his levels were up and I also got to change his messy diaper. I was kind of scared because of all the wires he has on him. I didn't want to pull them out. It went ok, it was different changing a boy though because of all the creases and folds but I did it!

Monday was the day we were suppose to receive the results from his MRI but they were not in yet so hopefully today they will be in. I got to nurse him yesterday, well I had to pump first and then see if he would latch on and he did! He was so hungry and mad but as soon as they put him in my arms he calmed down latched on and sucked a little bit. I also got to see him with his eyes opened for the first time. Well he only opened one and he was just looking around it was so cute. The nurse has never seen his eyes opened either until yesterday. I'm hoping his puffiness will go down really soon so he can open both of his eyes.

I'm doing really good other than my back kills me and I have the chills like no other and wake up soaking wet with sweat. I know that sounds really disgusting! I just have to say I give props to my friend Reagan! I don't know how you do it but you are seriously the strongest mom I know. You have gone through so much the last year and a half I applaud you. You are seriously the #1 mom and I know that one day Piper will be able to go home with you.

Well I'm off to take a shower but I thought I would give you and update on Brock. I have some new pictures that I will post here soon I just don't feel like walking down the stairs to get the camera.
