What we're thankful for

This past week, we have reflected and given thanks for many things. We are thankful-
  • that our sweet Cameron hit his two month milestone on the 28th and is continuing his great progress.
  • that our neighbors Freddy and Megan welcomed their healthy baby girl Lola on Thanksgiving day.
  • for all of our wonderful family and friends that have kept Cameron in their prayers.
  • for the caring nurses and doctors that watch over Cameron every day.
  • that God has blessed us with such a beautiful baby boy and continues to show us miracles every day.
Now, for our recap and of course this week's pics!

On Sunday night and Monday morning they gave Cameron two series of blood transfusions. These really helped him and by Tuesday he was off the CPAP already. Tuesday and Wednesday we took turns holding him and spent a lot of quality time together. Thursday we went to visit our neighbors Freddy and Megan down in labor and delivery. They were in the same room that we were in when we had Cameron! They had their little girl in the afternoon and we got to meet her that night. She is so cute!

Friday was Cameron's two month birthday and what a big day it was. He was able to try eating out of a bottle for the first time and did great with it. They started him off really slow though, he can only do the bottle once a day and a couple CCs at a time. Otherwise he still gets the majority of his food from the feeding tube. On Saturday we brought in his bouncy chair and he loved it. Mike took his turn feeding Cameron with the bottle and had a great time with it. We also brought in his Christmas decorations on Saturday.

This was his last day on the CPAP. He's just staring at his mobile.

This is Cameron saying "oh thank goodness, no more CPAP!"

He loves his bouncy chair!

Thanks dad!

  1. Little Cameron is so cute! He's so small next to Mike. :) We're so glad to hear that he is doing well, and happy 2 month birthday, Cameron! We hope that he continues to do well. We will of course keep him in our prayers.

  2. That gaze he has locked on Mike is intense! Congratulations on his great progress :) Carlin has the exact same bouncer and we just tried it last week and he loved it too. That's awesome about Megan. I'll be emailing soon mamacita

    And to the wonderful parents -- I'm lifting you and Cameron daily in prayer. Our God is sufficient and He will provide!
