Monday - the start of another long week...

Weston had an xray taken last night because he was having some trouble with his breathing and the xray showed that he was not producing his own surfactant. Normally we all can produce our own, but when he was born he was given surfactant until we knew if he could produce his own. So, the doctors decided that he would give him some more surfactant (inserted into his lungs) to extend him for a little bit longer. He has not had to be put back on the ventilator just yet and is still on room oxygen. Hopefully he will continue to do better and eventually produce his own surfactant. He has gained back up to 1 pound and 9 ounces and continues to eat 7cc every three hours.

Tonight Weston's Aunt Melissa and Uncle Tim are coming to see him. He cannot wait to see them...he told me so. LOL! Well, I guess I'm gonna get back in here with my little man. Hope everyone has a great Monday!

Fun Filled Friday!

Today was a very eventful day for little Weston. He had an ultrasound on his brain to determine if there was any bleeding. He passed with flying colors. No bleeding and everything looks normal right now. They will probably do this test again in a week or so.

Weston also had many visitors today. First his Mimi came to visit around lunch and then Mamaw and Papaw Robinson brought mommy lunch and visited me. Then Aunt Ber and Kristeen came to visit me along with Nana and Papa. And finally my Daddy showed up to visit with me after work. Mommy visited with me all day long.

Tonight my nurse Brandy let my mommy know that I had lost another 10 grams so I now weigh 680 grams - which is 1 pound and 8 ounces. My feedings are at 5 cc every three hours so hopefully I will be gaining some weight soon.

Snug

Oh isn't he snug as a bug in a rug!

Friday is a big day for little Weston!!!

So tomorrow is a big day for our little man! He is having an ultrasound in the morning on his head to determine if there is any bleeding in the brain. This is procedure for any baby born before 30 weeks gestational age. Hopefully there will be no bleeding! He is doing amazing! He has lost 2 ounces since Sunday, but this is normal as well for a healthy or preemie baby. He will gain it back soon enough because his feedings are up to 4 cc every three hours. He gets fed at 8, 11, 2, and 5 around the clock. He also likes his pacy - he just started to take it and seems to be able to suck on it pretty well. Thanks for all of the prayers! We are truly blessed to have friends and family members like all of ya'll!!!!

Weston Wayne Weaver was born this morning just before noon.  He weighed in at 1lb. 11 oz.  He was 12 3/4 inches long.  He will be in the NICU for about 10-11 weeks but he is doing well at this time.  Please continue to pray for our little man, that he will continue to be a fighter, his vitals will remain strong, and that he will continue to amaze us each day.  He is our little miracle.
