ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz....(Wednesday updates)

I had a great nap with dad today. I decided to hold onto the Nasal Canula for another day, but I am still on the lowest setting. I pretty much don't need it when I am sleeping, but when I am up feeding I need a little extra O2 - so they are going to ween me off slowly. I am off caffeine now, so I am on my own for extra stimulus to remember to breath. My feedings have also changed and are now going over an hour instead of two hours, which will encourage me to wake up hungry and better take a bottle or nurse. I did great breastfeeding today - and went for a half hour, before dozing off to sleep.
Big news: I have officially moved over to hang out with my posse in Step Down. But that means no more VIP room for me, so pray I continue to improve. I also gained some weight...I am 4 lbs!!!!

Our First Family Photo with Trevor

2008 was a challenging and amazing year, with Trevor Jalen Rose coming 3 months early and spending 80 days in the NICU at Mary Birch Hospital in February, then two months of quarentine at home with Trevor (staying away from all the potential germs), to Trevor's first's of learning how to eat without choking, rolling over and sitting up by himself. We have had many ups and downs, but with the prayers and support from our family and friends we have made it through and are thankful for our healthy baby boy. We have been so encouraged by how God has shown His love through you. THANK YOU!!!

Fun Facts about Trevor's Start in Life

-For the first month of life, Trevor's diaper was the size of your palm (and it was still too big)!
-His feet were the size of the top half of your thumb
-His fingers were the width of a toothpick
-The first time Tina fed him her milk, she had to use an small dropper
-Until Trevor is 2 years old, the doctor's will evaluate him according to his "corrected" or "adjusted" age. So, since he was born 12 weeks early, he is measured as a baby three months younger than his birth age. (i.e.: on February 16th he will be one year old, but his corrected age is 9 months).
